And, while you're waiting for your order to arrive, perhaps you'd consider forwarding your bank account and social security numbers so that we might temporarily deposit $5 million from the estate of my beloved father who was killed in an auto accident in Benin?

Can you say “entrapment” boys and girls? That will be the first word out of his attorney’s mouth.

Probably but it won't fly. As I understand it entrapment only applies where a criminal offer is made that is so enticing it persuades a person who would not normally commit such a crime to accept the offer. If they had offered to pay him to take the child porn off of their hands that would have been entrapment. Instead he paid them $180 for it. And come on, the stuff can be had free on the Internet...

They went to all this effort to capture a child porn customer? Not a producer or distributer or molestor, just a consumer?
Would you spend a million dollars to arrest a junkie for possession?

War on Drugs. All is full of fail.

I doubt it cost a million dollars to make a badly photocopied sheet of paper, mail it to some dumbasses, and take a western union money order.

No, it took a million dollars to publicize it so everyone would know what a great job they are doing. Just like the War On Drug Users.

Yeah, nobody's story gets published on The Smoking Gun for free. Wake up people.

I am still trying to figure out why the Smoking Gun is in on this. The feds post entrapment offers on Yahoo groups, then send actual child pornography through the mail in order to bust someone. What's next, johns getting busted by cops dressed up as hookers? Save me the mental bandwidth.
