I was lucky. It only cost me $1500 the time the FBI visited me.

I too was very naive and permitted the FBI agent into my house for a 
long chat. Luckily my wife was a witness to all that was said, including
the outrageous lies the agent made about Wozniak and Capt. Crunch (John Draper)
passing industrial secrets to the Soviets.

After the talk I called up John Markoff who made a laughing stock out
of the agents various mistakes. I highly recommend the media for getting
the last laugh at the government. At least I *hope* it's the last laugh:
fear, uncertainty, and doubt.


And Mr Schwartz -- as your lawyer ought to be telling you now -- you shouldn't
talk about the case even on the net. It will be used against you later.
