I think this guy was selling more then just modchips to get him self busted, I'm thinking maybe he was selling games under the counter... Look at all the other sites selling chips, they havnt had any probs. Maybe the guy was programming DirecTV's access cards
and they decied to nail him for selling modchips to, I donno...
As for getting to the site... I know their forums are still up. But the main page isnt.
