Also - any theories on why the police would claim to have shutdown a website that's still active? People are still posting on indys.
I'm still not 100% certain that this is a new bust - doesn't the date listed in the article coincide with the date from the original bust last year? I'm not sure why they wouldn't have a recent date if this was something new.
I didn't see any discussion threads about the situation over there - so I take it they're instituting a cone of silence about the matter? Because last time, I saw different threads about what was happening.

The players from indys who seem to be involved: PI, Mallory, Amazing Superhead, Miss Languanitas, plus a few I can't make a gallery or username match for. It was absolutely a follow around from the initial bust in Cleveland.
It's new charges around the same night (the GT).
You don't see stuff over there because they are deleting it. I know this because I posted it and it was deleted. It's PI's to do with as he wants (until the cops head up to Michigan and grab the box(es), presumably), but I think it's a big disservice to have more than a dozen counts over one's head, many of which relating to the site, and not letting people know. But hey, it's not my sandbox.
If you get your google on (and know that much of what happens in Cleveland is adjudicated in municipal court before county court), it becomes clear what happened that night and what's happening now. I'd say the size of the shitstorm they are going to have to overcome is directly related to how many of the current bench warrants for that evening's participants are served prior to it getting to trial. IANAL.
If you accessed Indys from home, the cops can subpeona your ISP for your identity. I don't know that they care about non-staff or non-providers, but you never know. I don't think they'll do anything beyond pull the plug, but again, IANAL.
