We offer the unsealed FBI complaints which led to the recent 
bust of two Kazakstan "hackers" accused of extortion for
breaking into Bloomberg's computer system and asking for
$200,000 to tell how it was done:

The complaints describe how the defendants were traced
through Hotmail addresses, a sting was arranged, and 
Bloomberg helped make the bust by setting up an offshore 
bank account to lure the hackers to London. One coconspirator 
remains a fugitive -- the lady who made a cellphone call to 
verify the money was in the bank.

The US Attorney and FBI praise the business/law cooperation 
in battling computer crime and boast of how computer crime has 
led to improved global law enforcement.
