  • "The Scene" Conspiracy?

    http://p2pnet.net/story/5551

    I casually follow "The Scene", and download the episodes once in a while. Anyway, I found this on p2pnet.net and it spins the tale of a great conspiracy.

    "p2pnet.net News Feature:- A good conspiracy story is always guaranteed to get people going and we've been getting emails for quite a few days, now, on the real or imagined connection between Jun Group's The Scene online movie series, and Operation Site Down, the recent international FBI bust."

    "Site Down had US FBI agents maintaining and operating a warez sucker site that scammed sceners into storing material on it.

    Running it was Griffen, in reality, an FBI agent, backed by agency and freelance techies.

    In fact, Site Down was almost like something out of a movie script and although it was conceived in the US, 10 other countries were eventually roped in on it. It was the "culmination of three separate undercover investigations conducted by the FBI," said the US Department of Justice, and eventually involved more than 90 searches worldwide.

    Computers and other property were seized and four people were arrested in North America.

    Episode 9 of Jun's The Scene features a fed named - wait for it - Gryffin and it went online some three weeks before Site Down was made public."

    I was wondering about the production costs of The Scene, and I thought maybe it was all fake, done as an elaborate college project. Guess not!

    Hmm, I watch The Scene too, kinda like waiting for a train wreck. I doubt it's a conspiracy, but Jun is supposedly fueled by Sony money...

        I think, after Episode 5, I sort of forgot about it. Time to get caught up. I need to also check on on the parody of "The Scene" called Teh Scene (Spelling of "The" as "Teh" is intentional here.)

        A thread we used when discussing it shortly after it came out.

          The recent Teh Scene 6 was worth a yuk...nice eminem parody. Badly mixed audio but we've gotten used to that.
