FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center

1sockchuck writes "FBI agents have raided a Dallas data center, seizing servers at a company called Core IP Networks. The company's CEO has posted a message saying the FBI confiscated all its customer servers, including gear belonging to companies that are almost certainly not under suspicion. The FBI isn't saying what it's after, but there are reports that it's related to video piracy, sparking unconfirmed speculation that the probe is tied to the leaking of Wolverine."

In this case, they should pool up and hire a legal team as large as the team needed to raid their datacenter. 1 for 1, Lawyer to Agent rumble.

Do you even have the slightest grasp of the English language you dolt. For fuck's sake, KNOW and THEY'RE... I'd suggest a few more years of schooling for you before you post again.

E-mail server not responding

I love the end of the story "CBS 11 News emailed Simpson about the raid, but as of Thursday evening he had yet to respond"..... I wonder why? May be the FBI took their mail server too?

And I fail at reading the entire subject line.

I'll have my order of crow, well done, with a side of my foot. And can you cover that in my own words?

Seriously. How about if the FBI confiscated the luggage from every room in a hotel, just because 1 of them had 50 kilos of cocaine in their room? I have no idea how they've been getting away with these tactics.

FBI warrant application form:

Justify your search and/or seizure under Constitutional amendment four: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

*agent scratches head*

Uh...anything with blinkenlights.

Yeah--that ought to do it.

Hope the lift was buggered so they had to carry them down the stairs!! :D:D

On another note!
Heard that a couple of the hosted servers were part of the area's emergency digital phone system (It's been reported that 911 number was dead in the surrounding area at the same time the FBI entered and started taking Servers!!)

And to make it even more appropriate to this situation, the man with the cocaine hasn't stayed at that hotel for months.
