What is wrong with the OP's statement?

AFTER I reported ... ARRESTS were made.

Nowhere does the OP state DUE TO my call ...

I pay for all my services but if I was using an illegal box this would be enough for me to panic and get rid of it, lets hope it makes a lot of other people do the same.

i dunno - it still seems to be going after people selling modded vm boxes it just so happens that the people arrested were using these boxes as well as selling them.

i havnt read anything about an end user using another make of box getting arrested.

I don't understand some of the folks on here, why are so many people giving the op grief he's picked up on something illegal and gone off and reported it.

Too many people sit and moan about what a horrible world we live in and how societies falling apart yet when they have the opportunity to do something about it sit back and do sod all. I've no desire to resurrect the original thread on this though so I'll just say well done, every contribution helps.

All-in-all this proves that reporting illegal activity can support an investigation. It may take weeks or months for something to be done, but that is the normal process of events when collecting information that can lead to arrests.

Nice one.
