things like this " It was originally created by orm who later gave the domain name to David Rocci aka. "Krazy8"" " David Rocci's house was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on February 27th, 2003." "The raid, ostensibly at least, had nothing to do with the fact that his site contained detailed releases (in the form of text files .nfo) by warez groups" etc just about everything in the article is missing necessary citation. --Crossmr 16:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
The first two statements are true. If there was a wayback for whois, you could see that isonews.com was registered to David Rocci for quite some time after orm handed operations over to krazy8 and mandarin. Also, Mr. Rocci's house was raided because isonews.com was supporting itself by selling XBOX and PS2 modchips which were marketed for the purpose of playing pirated console games. At the time it was also speculated that a side effect of the raid was to gain information on warez groups under the assumption that Mr. Rocci has more information than was posted to isonews.com(many people believed that isonews stored actual pirated material much like the problem that bittorrent trackers have today). This is largely believed to not be the case as Mr. Rocci didn't have any scene affiliations at that time.

Recomended for deletion? by this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandstein its a well known thing that isonews has had problems with government agencies again and again, seems they cant let go :) as it stands this article is old, its got information, its accurate and it contains info which people might want to see, I suspect this was nominated for deletion because the guy works for the government, or he got banned from isonews or something.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.178.236.165 (talk • contribs) 10:22, January 25, 2007.
