    Did this idiot really think the feds wouldn’t be able to trace thousands of robocalls?

    Anyways, they better throw the book at this turd to make other would be offenders hesitate. But it will happen again without a doubt.

      Honestly, the investigation shouldn’t have been to able to do it this easily.

      The only reason I can think of is that the organizers figured their only penalty would be fines and lawyers expenses, as long as they didn’t go to the necessary lengths to hide themselves.

      They could have purchased pre-existing shell companies, or created one overseas, and used those dummy corps to pay some American VOIP provider to run their automated call campaign.

      Maybe they thought that if they did go that route, and somehow eventually got found out, their might actually be consequences.

      Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes of this.
