ya im sure most are going to be ok,their not after closet growers,i am glad that people are not emailing elite any more,or at least the ones that caught wind of what has happend.it is a sad thing all the way around.im not sure if leo would be allowed to read his mail,i imagine after they had the warrant they could recieve all his emails if they chose.but im sure more will come out about this.im sure this story is on all the grow threads,so im sure everyone knows by now.im not a member any were else so im not positive,but i cant see it not being reported every were.
They can and are reading his emails and can go back quite a ways to get info. Anything put on the web is on the web for god knows how long. I know some people who were under investigation for selling some stuff on the net(not drug related). The cops had their entire online history handed right over from the isp provider, paypal, ebay and god knows what else exactly. I wasn't even involved and they had emails that were sent back and forth between us. It was a coworker of mine who i became good friends with. What I learned from that, is nothing, and i mean nothing actually gets deleted once its put out in cyberspace.
I know there will be people who know more about computers and stuff than i do saying I'm wrong, but I saw copies and copies of printouts the DA gave to my friends lawyer of 6 months worth of net surfing. Let me tell you there was everything there!
They had most of it before they ever got a warrant.
The digital trail is scary.
I can tell you this, there is most likely a cop reading this thread right now. They got his net activity, he was here a lot. They probably got a good education of this site and others if they already didn't have it
Its not what info they have, they have it all I guarantee it, its how far back are they going to get the info.
