Overgrow.com Busted, Servers Seized!

http://smokedot.org/content/view/315/2/

Overgrow.com, Cannabisworld.com, Heaven's Stairway Seed Company, and Eurohemp.com Shut Down and Servers Seized by Canadian Police.
Now it appears Heaven's Stairway Seeds (hempqc.com), Cannabisworld.com, Overgrow.com, Eurohemp.com have been shut down and the owners arrested in Canada; all their web properties seized, including the physical servers that held massive databases on thousands of growers, and tens of thousands of photographs of cannabis plants. Seed companies by the dozens used both Overgrow.com and Cannabisworld.com as a main trading ground. Over 40 seed companies had customer service interactive forums on these sites.

All the information held on those servers is now in the hands of police. It is not known what charges have been laid nor against whom. That police have not boasted about this seizure means the investigation is continuing, before any affected parties can react.

New Information Regarding Police Seizures of Overgrow.com
by Marc Emery (03 Feb, 2006) Overgrow.com, Cannabisworld.com, Heaven's Stairway Seed Company and Eurohemp.com Owners Apprehended


Overgrow.com unavailable
Cannabis Culture has developed a timeline of events we believe accurately account for the disappearance of Overgrow.com, Cannabisworld.com, Heaven's Stairway Seeds (hempqc.com), and Eurohemp.

On Monday evening, resident of Montreal Richard Calrisian, the owner of the four websites, was contacted by his web service providers in Vancouver where his servers were situated. They told him that there may be a problem, regarding a police investigation. RC told his provider to shut down the websites immediately.

Within hours, the police (it's unknown what kind of police) apparently entered the server site in Vancouver with a warrant and apprehended the hardware that housed the four web sites.

In the early morning of Tuesday, police in Montreal moved in and arrested RC, his wife, family members and an unknown number of employees.

It is alleged that RC, a pseudonym, is being held at Riviere-des-Prairie (RDP) jail in Montreal, and his wife in is Tanguay jail, across the river from RDP. Cannabis Culture called the prison and found no one there under the name Richard Calrisian.

The bail hearing should be on Monday, but it is unusual that a bail hearing has not yet been held. Typically they take place within 24 hours of arrest, unless an investigation is ongoing and the accused are being held temporarily without bail. This may be because there is a risk that the arrest news might inform other persons who are also under investigation.

Earlier reports of a drug bust in Hearst, Ontario are not related the seizure of Overgrow.com websites.


More information to come, when provided

 

It's only a matter of time, before they go after everyone they think is doing wrong..

 

think of all the dealers/growers across the U.S. peeing themselves right about now =x

 

FUCKING SHIT where will i get my pot?

 

Umm... Grow your own??... I have no need...

 

Who are these "they"? It's kinda funny when you think about it. Usually they (whoever they are...) seize plants, growing equipment, money, etc. Never seen a case where the computers were seized. Where they like growing virtual pot?

I can see the headlines now. "Canadian Police seive 40GB of POT."

 

You mean, go after everyone for thinking wrong

 

40 GigaBytes of Pot??????


When did they start measuring it in GigaBytes???... Damn Computer Technology has exceeded even me...


Guess I Better get to Best Buy and get a *Pound of RAM* just to be safe...

 

Personally I'd rather have a computer on coke, rather than pot. Can you imagine how slow a 4Ghz pot processor would be?

 

HAHA. Well, seems like it was pretty stupid of the people participating anywho..and they'll get what they deserve...

 

Yeah, because pot makes people child molesters and rapists.

And before you call other people "stupid", when giving possession to a singular noun, you place a ' between the word and the additional s.

 

They would be better of if they hosted on servers in the netherlands.
I think?

 

"Dude, like I totally forgot my instruction pointer."

 

I can't wait til computers are part biological machine, then you could literally give them drugs to perform faster!!

 

What a waste!

 

And then there would be no Vegans on the Internet.

PETA would be forced to close its web site.

And when you got a new CPU, you could eat the old one.

 

or have the new one eat the old one and absorb its power!

 

When they seed, you could of course plant the seeds. Unless they are pits, you could always pop a few tooth picks in them, and set them in a glass of water and wait for your new machine to sprout.

 

They should of hosted offshore somewhere...

 

I better check to see if the watching grass grow website is still up ... ;-)
