The Wild, Wild, West

With the chaotic (not anarchic) conditions that prevail in the border regions of the US-Mexico state entities you’d think the Feds (on both sides) would have higher priorities than nabbing a “fugitive porn mogul”.

His crime was highjacking the sex.com domain by fraud and redirecting the web traffic to his alternate site. OK, now if I owned that domain I’d want the cops to shut down this crook’s operation and lock him up too. But even so I’d have a hard time justifying the resources they’d need to spend to bag this guy compared with what they really need to spend them on.

Now the Feds say they need to have tight control of the borders in order to keep illegal people, drugs, terrorists and such out of the US. So why the big deal about picking up a small time con man and porn entrepreneur? Who knows?

Our tax dollars at work.
