Man Busted for Harassing Nancy Pelosi with 'Untraceable' magicJack
According to Ars Technica, San Francisco resident Gregory Giusti used magicJack, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider, to make 48 harassing phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's California home, her Washington DC home, her San Francisco office and her husband's California office. The calls began on February 6th and continued until March 25th. In a sworn FBI affidavit (.PDF), Pelosi said the caller told her she wouldn't have a home to come back to if she voted for health care reform, among other things that were so awful she didn't want to repeat them to investigators. Not only did he threaten Pelosi, but Giusti taunted her staff, saying, "This number is, and the number I'm calling from is, untraceable so if you're trying to trace it, have fun." Turns out, it wasn't. The FBI and Capitol police traced the number to a magicJack account in California. Giusti was smart enough to list another name and address on the account. However, he listed a man who he attended church with a few years back. The unnamed man recognized Giusti's voice from police tapes and identified him. Giusti, in typical dumb criminal style, denied being the caller until authorities called the number in question and Giusti answered -- while the cops were still in his house.
Now, Giusti is staring at two years in prison and a fine up to $250,000. Not to mention being known as the worst anonymous caller in the entire world. [From: Ars Technica]

Hahaha! This is hilarious! What an idiot!
MichaelApr 16th 2010 2:23PM
Was he really a "typical dumb criminal" or just not smart enough to pull this off 100%? I think he was nearly brillant!
Allaboutuk1Apr 16th 2010 3:16PM
I agree!
cowmorecowApr 16th 2010 3:51PM
No STUPID. . .if he was that "brilliant" he wouldn't have been caught. . .
MichaelApr 16th 2010 2:27PM
Why would anyone want to harass sweet Nancy Pelosi?
llittleangelApr 16th 2010 2:46PM
That's funny :)
MrData98Apr 16th 2010 2:28PM
No, not a "typical dumb criminal". More like a typical genius teabagger.
pamApr 16th 2010 8:00PM
this guy is more than likely a liberal..tea baggers have not once done anything to warrent the abuse they are getting at the hands of the state run tv and that maxist president..and the guy could just be a nut but he is not with the tea party
and even if he was there is more danger coming from left wing wacko's..remember obama boy's buddy bill ayers???he tried to kill american

I hope he gets the maximum fine too. Annonomous harassing of the hatred and threatening kind is the most cowardly act of intimidation perpetrated upon everyday good citizens and most especially our lawmakers, such as Pelosi, who has her obligatory right, duty, and elected turn in office to enact laws and put forth changes according to the will of the majority who put her there to do exactly that. And such is life.
Bravo to law enforcement! He who laughs last laughs best! This crap has got to stop.
KevinApr 16th 2010 3:03PM
Joe,you said it, Pelosi, who has her obligatory right, duty, and elected turn in office to enact laws and put forth changes according to the will of the majority, the will of the MAJORITY! Does the majority of Americans want her socialist BS, I think not.
juliaApr 16th 2010 5:19PM
not bad, right up to the point where you mentioned "will of the people." Then you lost me...............
AdrianInDFWApr 16th 2010 5:54PM
Kevin, it really depends on the poll you look at, the wording of the question, and the news agency you get your news from, but there are certainly polls that show the majority of Americans supporting health care reform... Socialist BS? I guess that's your opinion. Obama was elected by the will of the majority, on the grounds that, among other things, he'd reform health care. We elected him to do it, and he did it. I personally think the will of the majority was done, despite a very, very vocal minority screaming about it like it's going to be the end of the world. Time will tell.

Two years in prison and $250,000? Wow! Maybe we can crack down on telemarketing calls like this..lol
Nazir PatelApr 23rd 2010 10:04PM
Telemarketers are pests but they do not threaten people. People do not have to agree with Pelosi or the Government's policies , however in a democracy there are elections and one can express their displeasure by voting out an elected official when the time comes but to threaten to kill - that is no no and that too in the manner in which this jerk did. I say he should be handed even a stiffer sentence of more than 10 years and a hefty fine as a deterrent to others and the same should go for that young man who hacked into Sarah Palin's email account and I cannot stand Palin.

Ya, poor Ol' Nancy Pelosi getting harassed for selling our country out to her liberal special interest groups and then playing the victim. I cant wait to see how the media spins incumbents on both sides of the aisle being sent packing this November. America is sick and tired of "politics as usual". I have never been more proud to be a registered independent.

if you think Geo W Bush was wonderful.. don't forget the former prez.. was the man who started this downhill slide.. At least our President, Pelosi, and Reid and others in congress who care to work for recovery.. (the republicans are too busy yakking and shacking to work)..,. And for my last remark> If the people who bought houses over the last 5 to 8 yrs.. who couldn't afford the payments had bought a home within their means.. there wouldn't be a flipping housing foreclosure to the height of it now is. people making $50,000 a year,, can't afford a $700,000 home..with a 5 yr balloon payment.. Logic and good old common sense should have told these people that. I lived in las vegas.. one in 7 houses in that city are in foreclosure.. You can't live on dreams and wants.. Jobs goes, paychecks disappears.. with No planning for tomorrow or even next 10 yrs.. you will go into foreclosure with the rest of the dreamers and shemers.. They made their bed.. Let them leave it.. I sold my house.. and moved back to MO.. I'm happy .. house is paid for and also my cars are paid for.. I can make it without a job now.. I planned it to happen for me.
