Subject: Charges filed in Mog-Ur BBS case

The Los Angeles city attorney has filed criminal charages against the
Sysop of the Mog-Ur BBS because of credit card numbers posted on his
system. You may recall that his system was previously confiscated by
police and then later returned. At the time the machine was returned
the city attorney said they were not going to file charges for lack of
evidence. It seems great pressure was brought on top levels of the
city attorney's office so they decided to go back on their agreement
not to prosecute. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for late
next week at which time we should know more about what is going on. I
will keep the net informed as I get news.
