I'm glad that you guys see through this jerk. He ran an online gaming ladder four or five years ago and never paid up the $10k prize he offered. My friend who won it basically got shafted as the guy ceased updating the league website and disappeared from contact.
He's a script kiddie who got caught, and then decided to leverage the publicity he got to pursue further criminal ventures.
Here are some more links, if you're interested:
