 I saw another conviction for cookie stuffing about a month ago ...I don't think it was either of these guys.

I don't know these guys, but I am glad it is getting some attention.  Hopefully it discourages others from cookie stuffing.

I heard about this years ago.  It must take the Feds a while to build their case.

I heard it was all quite clever. Eg they goelocated stuff so it did not appear in places where ebay operated, so were less likely to be spotted.
