I found this history, pretty much the owner directed some DDOS... Read on..... Link

Man, DDOS' hits corporate mainstream..

Yeah, it seems to be a pretty good market haha

Let's get to it Francisco, but don't use IRC.. (j/k) hahahahaha..

DDoS is one of the things I hate most that the net can be used for..
Anyone can do it and most of us know of one site or another that has had it happen.
Some people do it just because someone annoyed them on a site or if they didn't get what they want.

So stupid and it causes so many problems.

Such a shame that people would resort to this...
I hope they get punished to the full extent of the law.

It's so stupid that a company like this resorted to these methods to try get an edge over their customers. I am more than glad that they got caught, everyone doing this sort of thing should be punished as much as possible.

The people that did the attacks were getting paid a lot of money, it is pure greed for wealth and power...sometimes it gets to peoples heads.
