| For 6 years? Let's see... |
On its homepage, MacFanaticShop proudly proclaims "Since 1997"; in its ads and press release, it claims to have been in business for six years. Let's probe that a little bit. Here's the Internic WhoIs info about MacFanaticShop.com:

Hmm, now isn't that interesting? "Creation Date: 22-feb-2004" How does that make six years? Or does that entail Mr. Charalambides' (or whatever his real name is) entire criminal career including his "businesses" at PowerMac4U.com, various Vendio stores such as shop.vendio.com/macshopz, MacWhizShop.com, MacMasterShop.com, MacFanaticShop.com and potentially several others?
