Scan Man's last words contained a threat that if this affected his home life,
he would personally track down the writers and contributors and shoot them with
his rifle.

Notes from KL:
One thing that I should mention is the fact that Pirate-80 has *NEVER* been
busted or investigated. I mean its not hard to get onto and there are codes
plastered everywhere you look. How many boards do you know of that have been
busted for having codes on them? One example of this is with the credit card
numbers owned by Richard Sandza, author of "The Night Of The Hackers" and "The
Revenge Of The Hackers," both printed in Newsweek Magazine.
"It wasn't long before I found out what was being done with my credit-card
numbers, thanks to another friendly hacker who tipped me to Pirate 80, a
bulletin board in Charleston, W. Va., where I found this: 'I'm sure you guys
have heard about Richard Standza [sic] or Montana Wildhack. He's the guy who
wrote the obscene story about phreaking in NewsWeek [sic]. Well, my friend
did a credit card check on TRW...try this number, it's a VISA...Please nail
this guy bad...Captain Quieg [sic].'"
See this? This was published in "The Revenge Of The Hackers" in Newsweek
Magazine! And what happened to P-80? Nothing! Here Richard Sandza has just
announced to thousands of people that P-80 has credit card numbers posted on it
and nothing happened. Why? The answer to that is left to the reader.
There are a few other things to mention about Scan Man/P-80/TMC. Supposedly
all of the computer equipment that P-80 runs on was donated by TMC themselves.
It is also believed that Scan Man's only duty to the company was to report TMC
codes so that they could be turned off. It would appear that this had changed
but, we at Phrack Inc. in no way take any opinion whatsoever about the
innocence or guilt of Scan Man. We leave it to the reader to decide for
him/herself.
I'm sure all parties concerned would appreciate you NOT calling the above
numbers if all you plan to do is harass people or anything else among those
same lines. After all a job is a job and harassing someone wouldn't do
anyone any good either, it would just make them mad. If you are going to call,
make sure it is for knowledge purposes only! Above all do NOT call Scan Man to
harass him or his innocent family. My suggestion is that if you feel that Scan
Man is an informant or whatever, then stop just calling his board.
One last thing, a *VERY* big thank you to Sally Ride:::Space Cadet for a job
well done and for all the time he spent working on the article.

PS: For those interested, this investigation was sparked by the interception of
a memo from Larry Algard (Pacific Northwest Bell) to his boss, George Reay.
What was in the memo? Several things, but mostly it spoke of the January
CFCA (Communications Fraud Control Association) conference in Miami,
Florida where Larry met one Scott Higgonbotham, Security Director for TMC
(Tele-Marketing Company) who told him that he operated a "sting" bulletin
board named Pirate 80 in West Virginia.
