I'm writing a paper for my american society class about the possibility of the internet a source of social capital. Does anyone have a link to one of the stories about the "mac community bonding together to bust the guy who was scamming everyone on ebay with fake auctions"? Thanks in advance.

    You don´t have to be a community to do this. We got a one man army here at AI.

    What? Did someone say eBay? Who needs help.. who's being scammed?! Let me at the sonofabitch, gimme the auction link, mobilize the forces... err... oh.



    Sorry, I get excited sometimes.



    You are most likely referring to this story about the guy who had users from several message boards help him to track the crook down.



    For those who haven't followed the story in a while, but did know of the story originally, scroll down to see the chain of events after the incident took place. Some very interesting reading there, to say the least.
