Back Again, with (relatively) fresh news.
THIS JUST IN HE POSTED A POST

"Within a week, they drove my cost up to almost $8,000. in bandwidth fees.
I was facing economic disaster."
Dramatic bullshit, or actual damages? You be the judge. $8,000 seems a little far-fetched at first glance, but considering the massive amount of Anonymii DoS'ing his site at once, it does begin to sound plausible. One Anonymous, replying from the TurnerChan blog comments section of the first post, states:
"Hal uses the "real money" and "ddos" argument.
lets take that apart, shall we?
1. Hal stated on his show that the damages were $1800. His lawyer demanded $5000 up front. he says he cannot pay the $1800, so he has hired a $5k lawyer to help him.
ha.
2. I don't personally know of any "data center" that charges people more if they exceed their bandwidth. they simply cut off access.
3. Hal says he turned his computer over to the FBI for 12 hours. the FBI does not take computer if they have been ddos'd. ISPs and local authorities may eventually get the FBI involved, but the feds don't just take a comp for a small time, forward the address to their homepage,and return the box.
Mr. Turner, i call bullshit.
Anonymous' second point renders Turner's point of being charged with exorbitant bandwidth fees moot, though it has been discussed between several Anonymii that some companies screw their customers over by promising a small fee after monthly bandwidth are surpassed, and then gutting them with additional, undisclosed fees, while other companies simply cap the bandwidth, preventing any access to the site and subsequently preventing increases in fees. So, in all probability, the attack did run up the bill to approximately $1,800, as Turner stated on his show; where he pulls the other $6,000 from is beyond me. The third point stated is accurate; the FBI would take more than just a few days to examine and poke around inside his PC, if it would be necessary to do such an action in the first place. It's likely Turner redirected the site's index page to the FBI homepage in an attempt to have those Anonymous participating in the DoS attack inadvertantly attack the FBI, which would subsequently bring them in quicker than normal, if at all, since it would be a "direct" attack on them, much like the current inadvertance of attempting to attack his site and ending up attacking Blogspot and ultimately Google.
Also, things are starting to unravel.
More soon.
