Operation Raw Deal **Update**

[thegodfather]

Wanted to drop an update on Operation Raw Deal. Many of you may not have been around for this, but its beneficial to learn from anyway.

ORD was centered around a message board called SSB, and was ran by Goran Crnila a.k.a. GymAce. I did a little bit of searching and found today that GymAce was released from prison 7-24-2009. He was the key player in the entire operation, as his open source board made almost all domestic UGL's easy targets, like shooting fish in a barrel.

Here is proof of his release:

If anyone has any additional information on other Raw Deal players being sentenced, released, etc, please feel free to post up on this thread.
