Stolistic, thanks for the link.  :3- :259-

I'm curious to know if this is the first time anyone's published an article about this incident? :128-
Many of us have known about it since it happened, over two years ago.

Good article!
The history lesson was a bit sketchy.
I don't feel sorry for him in the least. Actually got off easy.
Think his "tinkering" was a bit more ambitous than most.

Most likely those were put up on eBay by IGT as a fishing expedition.
Just want to see who would bite and if they were involved.
