So back then, Google Analytics gave a number for you, like an account number, and every one of your sites was dash one, dash two, dash three, dash four.

And I was able to link like 30 some odd websites, like 36 websites, all with dash one, dash two, dash three, all the way up to like 36 and present them in federal court forensically to say these are all related.

And that's, that was how we were able to take that one group of sites and link it to this one guy.

And he was also acting as an accountant because a lot of times they use, they use, uh, they launder the money first, it comes to the U S and then it gets laundered out.

So they use this one guy who was located in McKinney, Texas of all places, which is just north of where I live now.

When I started this case, I was still living in LA.

I moved here in 07.

But by the time I moved here, the raid was just a couple miles from my house, which I didn't attend.

But yeah, so he was busted.

His name was Jody Smith.

This is a Russian?

No, he was working for the Russians.

So we got Jody Smith.

And you can find this as a good Wikipedia page if you look up a guy named Oleg Nikolenko.

You'll you'll be able.

Yeah.

And he worked for the Russian business network, RBN, which is also known as the Russian spam gang.

They were mafia.

So Jody Smith was working as an SEO search engine optimization guy and also a pass through for a lot of the money.

So they raided him and he flipped on he flipped on Oleg.
