I always get a kick out of Krebs' relationship with the thesaurus.

"Miscreants" "goons" "fraudsters"

Seriously, 'goons'? What is this, an Archie comic?

But, yes, fascinating article, nonetheless. I dislike the man for reasons difficult to articulate, but there is no arguing with a story like this. Great read.

Not to mention the Defcon goons: http://www.defcon.org/html/links/dc-goons.html
