Seems to me it should be easy to work with LEO to nail at least his partner -- the "decorator."
Ought to be enough to put someone in jail for a long, long time.

This is one of the finest achievements in counter-scamming that I have read.
'Regulate' used to mean the opposite of 'constipate.'

The p-p-p-powerbook was good, but the finest reverse scam so far is this one chronicled last September on NPR's This American life:
>>link<<Act One. Hanging In Chad.
Three guys who go by the names Professor So and So, Jojobean and YeaWhatever spend part of each day running elaborate cons on Internet scammers. They consider themselves enforcers of justice, even after they send a man 1400 miles from home, to the least safe place they can bait him: the border of Darfur. The three self-made enforcers tell Ira their story. For more on what they did, along with photos, maps and phone recordings, go here. (29 and 1/2 minutes)
