If it's true they're in deep shit. I hope it's true ROFL.

Greed will pwn your ass every time.

Son of a big mom. I don't wish bad stuff to happen to people, but this guy deserves to go down.

**bruce6667** · #6 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 09:34 PM

at least there's a pingback from BHW... that'll keep us under the radar.

I'm glad dp got caught, fuck dp, but this makes cookie stuffing ebay a little more risky

Man I'm still trying to digest this. Talk about hell freezing over. Well like they always say, its the quiet one you need to look out for. I wonder how much they are saying they took them for

entity · #10 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 10:42 PM

I'm pretty sure it's over $50,000... under that amount of money the cost of the lawyers eat up all of the possible profit.

or the could be making an example out of him. Think of the RIAA and MPAA

Why the hell would they even consider stuffing DP. That is just asking for trouble.

Bummer....

**wealthy199** · #14 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 11:29 PM

Yeah I posted this a couple of days ago:

**wakkaoaka** · #15 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 11:31 PM

Surely just a fine, possibly a substantial fine but nothing more.

33mo23 · #16 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 11:51 PM

It's a civil suit. If DP looses, they will have to pay.. nothing more.

**cparainmaker** · #17 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 11:58 PM

What a dick munch, I hope dp dies but then again I'm not exactly sure as all those dumbies would probably run over here.

affiliatenut · #18 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 12:07 AM

Hope it does not start a witch hunt.You know how these things go.Hate to lose this forum.
Id have to see a shrink.lol.After all the bad crap they said about us,payback time!

**The Scarlet Pimp** · #19 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 12:59 AM

time to be careful.

**bobfrapples** · #20 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 01:06 AM

I think his punishment should be to monitor all the sales threads on his own forum for the next 12 months. Holy shit, after moderating a few 18 page threads of people looking for instructions, videos, testimonials and proof of earning possibilities before "taking the plunge" on a $6 wp plug-in would probably make him opt for jail time.

thats so true, ive tried to sell stuff there, but its not worth a million pms over a $5 item

One thing I learned a long time ago is that as soon you think you're smarter than everybody else, THAT's when you get busted or get your ass handed to you.

"Time to be careful" is dead nuts accurate. You may think you're getting away with it, but there just may be someone on the other end taking very detailed notes to hang you with the whole time.

I'm a karma believer...what comes around....

**justthinking** · #23 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 01:17 AM

I am not sure why anybody would wish bad luck on another person. The guy has another site that rivals this one. So what! Why wish bad luck on him? I wish him the best, as I would all of you.

**tonlilaz** · #24 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 01:38 AM

is he the only one on the planet being sued at the moment?

i wonder, when did the news come out...

I don't want to be mean but the guy deserves it. Stuffing DP is like stuffing your sister, you just don't do it.

shage13 · #26 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 02:05 AM

fuck bay their board is full of people who didnt make enough being legit on this magic number they have, but if you make to much they wanna cancel you to, they have no idea what they want over there, new ceo, people leaving, now lawsuits, something is hurting on the books over there, and their quarter prob is coming up and they need to stuff the books by throwing out lawsuits hoping one will hook and reel in

itmirchizone · #27 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 02:31 AM

fuck digital point it sucks... men wish it finally shuts down..

Yeah, man. I think a pig just flew by my window.

I can't believe that the guy wouldn't have some sort of undetectable method. I guess he should read a few of our BST e-books.

Didnt you see Ebays trend? Look at their traffic stats. They have 10 million LESS customers visiting Ebay in the last 1yr alone. No wonder they are hurting and that stupid bitch (Meg Whatshername), she ought to be fired and then bitch slapped.

shage13 · #30 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 03:29 AM

yea i see them losing sellers by the dozen, so they are passing the cost cutting down to the aff, they know most have 1000 of links out there, that taking it down could take some time, so its free traffic, free sales, and they strongly believe they have a name brand in which they do that like amazon the return visit or the type in traffic is enough that one dont need a affiliate to send the traffic, so lets say everyone who sends $1k or less a month we will shut down, the affiliate in all aspect is getting fucked, 24hr cookies fuck come on, then bs sales as 1% damn corner store makes more selling shit paper then i did on a 3k purchase, if you look at that its fraud on their end, all those affiliates who were cut for no reason except their algo cut random people should class action them based on fraud, they decieved them on asking them to put up links on as many sites as possible, then cancel their account create more work for them to take down those links, which equals more downtime which equals more loss of wages, etc, dont put your eggs in one basket is the lesson but when you have a big basket with alot of eggs its a bitch to rumble thru the eggs to find which ones to take out

Meg's not there anymore. It's that new dumbshit that's causing the problems.

This is sooooooooo hilarious!!!

**miamiking75** · #33 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 05:01 AM

Shit, is it really that much more profitable to cookie stuff? I want to do it but not without a good cookie stuffing script...problem is I'm flat broke trying to pay the rent...are there any free options that are worth the risk?

**tonlilaz** · #34 (**permalink**) 08-29-2008, 05:48 AM

why the fuck are people panicking???????

you know...i'm starting to wonder if there are pple here purposefully trying to arouse fear.

look, if you guys are too chicken shit for this then get the fuck off this board and just keep downloading shitty warez, dp, and wso ecrap.

my god, don't be such pussies

remember, if you're gonna dick around with egay remember to use protection

But protection takes more than half of the feeling away.. that's only fun for Ebay

In all seriousness though, why are people so worried about getting sued by Egay? You're not going to Jail and you're probably never going to even hear anything about it unless you stuff a forum with hundreds of thousands of daily visitors. If you do.. that's your own problem then.

People worry too much.. so let's say you do stuff them and make a 1k-2k/monthly or even weekly profit, if they find out the most they will do is ban you.. I doubt a multi-billion dollar corporation is going to take the time to sue someone making a couple of grand a week.

The rich stuffers got sued because they deserved it.. take things in moderation. Hasn't history taught us anything? When we let greed get the best of us.. it never works out in your favor

Look at Scarface.

This story just keeps getting better by the minute too.

#37 (**permalink**) 08-30-2008, 02:22 AM

How much exactly is he getting sued for? any updates?

**Radz** · #38 (**permalink**) 08-30-2008, 02:50 AM

he must be making XXXXX $$ amount of money daily by cookie stuffing

**darkincome** · #39 (**permalink**) 08-30-2008, 02:54 AM

if I were them I would have setup my stuffing script to only stuff members of the site that signed up before the conception of the EPN program. tisk tisk. should have had me on your team guys!!

**Atlas** · #40 (**permalink**) 08-30-2008, 03:56 AM

I am sure they are aware of other earning far more than him, but want to send a message by suing the owner of a well known forum.

Was he really stuffing DP or some other means?

That's what i was curious about too. I started searchign and reading to see what exactly they were doing that got them caught, and saw this suggestion a couple times. Were they actually stuffing the fucking forum? Haha.

nowhereman · #42 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 10:28 PM

Here is a copy of the indictment if anyone wants to read it.

officer_iron · #43 (**permalink**) 09-06-2008, 02:52 PM

Wow. Definitely gotta watch your back now.

**Uptownbulker** · #44 (**permalink**) 09-06-2008, 03:53 PM

Man, that civil suit is INTENSE!

Problem is that is is right on the mark and everything that eBay says is 100% accurate!

Could this be the end of cookie stuffing?

When eBay wins this lawsuit and I suspect that it will, case law and decisions will be used against others in a similar manner and with the full force of law behind them, eBay will pick out a few individual cookie stuffers to go after, just to ram home the point!

I don' need no steenkeeng cookie stuffeeng!

**irancrude** · #45 (**permalink**) 09-06-2008, 09:31 PM

Well
I guess it is not the right moment for me to say: I told ya!
Sadly sometimes we all seem to follow a path just because everyone is, this
should be a good moment of reflection time for some of us around here.
