  |  PRESS RELEASE:                                                          |
  |     LEETCHAN INVESTIGATION LEADS TO THE ARREST OF RYAN CLEARY (19)       |
  |                                                                          |
  |                                                                          |
  |  (Stockholm, Sweden): Following the attacks on their domain registrar,   |
  |  Dreamhost, Leetchan is now co-operating with law enforcement agencies   |
  |  in the United States and the United Kingdom to disband the group re-    |
  |  sponsible for these vicious attacks.                                    |
  |                                                                          |
  |  On July 21, Ryan Cleary (Essex, UK) was arrested in his home and is     |
  |  currently facing up to 30 years in prison, all the while being sued     |
  |  for $100,000/day as part of a pending class action lawsuit against the  |
  |  19-year-old teenage man.                                                |
  |                                                                          |
  |  ``We are extremely happy for the outcome of this investigation,'' said  |
  |  Brian Messy, a senior Essex police officer. ``Botnets are the weapon    |
  |  of the 21st century, and as such, it is very important to remind other  |
  |  cyber criminals about the consequences of being caught possessing one.  |
  |  Having your home raided by law enforcement is not that cool.''          |
  |                                                                          |
  |  Jim Barker-McCardle, Chief Constable of the Essex police Force, was     |
  |  also pleased. ``Leetchan was a pleasure to work with; you'd think a     |
  |  cyber vigilantism group such as Leetchan, a group whose main focus      |
  |  lies on playing video games and targetting illegal spam operations      |
  |  such as 4chan.co.il, wouldn't be much of a pleasure to work with in     |
  |  our conquest to backtrace and arrest members of organised cryme syndi-  |
  |  cates, such as Ryan Cleary,'' he spoke at the press conference today.   |
  |  He showed clear embarrassment over having misjudged the group. ``We     |
  |  look very forward to working with them again in our pending investi-    |
  |  gations. They are as professional as they are polite and good-look-     |
  |  ing.''                                                                  |
  |                                                                          |
  |  Mr Cleary is currently being held for questioning in a Central London   |
  |  police station.                                                         |
  |                                                                          |
