FBI CyberCrime Arrests

That was really a bad move by FBI, they actually encouraged members to steal credit cards and ended by catching them..

Makes no sense.

I'm not sure the FBI was the sole 'encouraging' factor. I'm sure these guys weren't targeted by the FBI who said: "Let's take these innocent kids and make them steal credit card info". From what I understand, the crimes were already taking place and the FBI simply went undercover and tracked what was happening.

The owner of the CP was a member of HF, he advertised his site on HF and encouraged members to join his site. Even innocent members who did not know anything about carding joined their site and learned many things.

The site was started by and ran by the FBI from the beginning... So they "targeted" so to speak. It seems like entrapment imo.
