Hell gang gets yet more bad publicity. This is the same

security professional. Oh, yes, he's also the charming fellow
who, along with Brian Martin of Attrition.org,
participated in a threat to
burn down the offices of Antionline.
Seems these Global Hellers don't think some of us reporters are
sufficiently fawning. Message to Global Hell: time to wake
up and smell the cell block.
