What the Hell Theater - 7/20

A probation officer didn't have to look far to find a Kentucky man in violation of his probation. Prosecutors say Scott W. Roby posted pictures of himself drinking on his Facebook page - after he had invited his probation officer to be his friend on Facebook. Roby's probation has been revoked. He's been sentenced to two years in prison, in part for violating conditions that required him to stay alcohol-free. He had been convicted on drug charges.

A Washington business was victim of phone hackers, leaving it with a $90,000 bill. Reliance Mortgage owner Hank Lo's average phone bill comes to about $1,000 a month. But his most recent bill from his long-distance provider was for almost $90,000, full of international calls to North Korea and South Africa.  Hackers had targeted the mortgage company's switchboard, so when the international calls were placed, Lo would be billed for them. The phone company has offered to take about $47,000 off of the bill, leaving Reliance responsible for the remaining $41,000!
