Quote:DALLAS -- The FBI hauled away millions worth of computer servers from a company called Core IP Networks during a Wednesday raid in downtown Dallas. But it affected a number of businesses that were not under investigation and about 100,000 phone customers across the country have lost part of their 911 service. Matthew Simpson is the owner of that company. He says his home was also raided. Simpson says the FBI is after a former client who may have used servers to pirate movies and software. FBI agents raided a Dallas ISP, knocking the company and almost 50 of its clients offline. The early morning Thursday raid closed down the operations of Core IP Networks, which operated out of two floors of a Telx collocation facility at 2323 Bryan Street in Dallas. The raid had to do with the activities of a former customer, according to Matthew Simpson, Core IP's CEO. "The FBI is investigating a company that has purchased services from Core IP in the past," he wrote in a note posted to a Google Sites page. "This company does not even collocate with us anywhere, much less 2323 Bryan Street Datacenter." "I received a call 15 minutes later from FBI Agent Allyn Lynd. Mr. Lynd would not tell me why he raided our datacenter or what he was looking for. He also accused me of hiding inside my house in Ovilla, Texas. I was actually in Phoenix, Arizona when this happened. I told him that, and he told me that he was "getting the dogs" after me, and hung up on me. I found out from an employee that there were 15 police cars and a SWAT team at my home in Ovilla." "It's like an apartment building. If you have 500 tenants and one of them has a meth lab inside his apartment, they don't hold the apartment liable for that guys actions. But that's what the FBI is trying to do here," said Simpson. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/From_The_Edge-Alerts/message/10931

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
