• Head moron lives in Canada
• Started website to prank people
• All pranks that were done were done via skype - the morons thought it couldn't be traced but their egos eventually helped TSN track them down.
• Pranks were done via a live chat stream so people that visited the site could be there when they were going on.
• They also kept a catalog of their pranks on their website.
• The morons did a number of pranks which led to the people they pranked to cause thousands of dollars of damage...one of their pranks involved calling US hotels and calling random room numbers and telling the people in the room that there were gas leaks and you have to break windows and TVs so shit doesn't blow up. (Read article for more of their moron-ness)
• Morons were getting away with it because they were attacking US businesses and there were jurisdiction issues.
• TSN outed each one of them and explained who they were, gave out phone numbers and addresses.
• The morons retreated and closed down the website and anything they ever posted on the internet.

Brah, you totally fooled that elderly woman into thinking there was a fire, brah! We're so epic. I call my mom's basement the epicenter.

So have there been any criminal charges brought up or anything?

I wound up feeling a lot of sympathy for some of them, for how shitty their lives turned out, and how horribly they responded to it. They deserve to be locked up for a few years, don't get me wrong, but it still seems kind of tragic that the human condition can still be capable of such cruelty.

Stephen Hawking said that the next stage of human evolution was the ability to treat each other with empathy. These guys clearly aren't highly evolved.

Typical bleeding heart liberal.

I'm sure the people that were the center of these jokes don't have much sympathy for them.
