SAN DIEGO — Four years after dodging a $65-million court judgment by fleeing the country, former online-porn mogul Stephen Michael Cohen was arrested by Mexican authorities in Tijuana and handed over Thursday to U.S. agents.

Cohen, a multiple felon and longtime con man, had been on the run since before 2001, when a judge ordered him to pay a San Francisco entrepreneur for hijacking the Internet address Sex.com. In 1995, Cohen forged a letter to Internet authorities to gain control of the address, which he transformed into a highly profitable site for pornography ads.

WOW "Kremen has done well with other investments, which allowed him to pursue the case against Cohen. But he has earned nowhere near the profit from Sex.com that Cohen did." He got my $200.00 lol hope that helps him get some stuff back. This was an interesting read.

I wonder why they arrested him, If he's been living in TJ for years, Everyone from the Mayor down to the shoeshine boy in his neighborhood would have been getting payola.

Arrested while applying for a work permit B.S.
His daughter is getting sentenced monday for smuggling pot, that might be the reason they decided to nail him now

I'm having to much fun with this
Jhuliana Cohen, got nailed for smuggling 500 pounds of herb. She just got sentenced to 10 months, the usual sentence is a day per pound but she doesn't like long lines and took the Sentri Lane. Kreman was at her sentenceing.
Her father on the other hand doesn't mind lines and I guess he didn't think that his daugters bust would send up any red flares, He got nailed while getting a work Visa something most people in Mexico pay an Attorney $100 bucks to stand in the lines and get it right the first time.
It turns out that Cohen owns a Strip Club in TJ, it's in Jhuliana's name but Kreman is sueing her too. I wonder if Kreman needs a manager for his new Strip Club

More payola from the other side

probably... now that they're the clear final winners... also actually apparently there was a shootout a while back at his compound when some bounty hunters thought they'd try their luck! They don't mind taking the money but they prefer you keep a kow profile.

Wish I had the time and extra bucks to spend as this would make a fabulous book!
