    Default Mugshots.com Owners Arrested For Extortion

    Let's all hope this takes on a ripple effect that can create a standardized law against these sort of sites.

    On Wednesday, the attorney general of California brought criminal charges against not only Saried and Keesee, but also Kishore Vidya Bhavnanie and David Usdan. The quartet has been charged with extortion, money laundering, and identity theft.

    "This pay-for-removal scheme attempts to profit off of someone else's humiliation," said Attorney General Becerra in a statement. "Those who can't afford to pay into this scheme to have their information removed pay the price when they look for a job, housing, or try to build relationships with others. This is exploitation, plain and simple."

    Thanks so much for posting this! I'm on that site, unfortunately. Do you happen to know if the pics will be removed or if the site will be shut down?

    Well its hard to say from what I'm reading. It seems as though the fight to get these sites removed has finally gotten some legs. There is a class action lawsuit out of Illinois and now the California lawsuit. They've been able to manipulate the first ammendment all this time but now these new cases could put an end to that.

    What needs to happen is someone needs to win a case against them so that all the info gathered becomes public. And from there others can build a case against them.

    They've had a ton of civil suits against them that haven't stuck. But this time it was different because they were actually arrested. Someone found a way to properly charge these fuckers.

    In the meantime I wouldnt expect the site to go under right away and the content to disappear. Its sounds like its in the beginning stages. But what everyone can do to make sure it doesn't get buried beneath all the other crap going on is share these articles all over the place. Let people know whats possible.

    I know a kid and his father that paid a few thousand have his sons image removed in 2015
    They removed it from that site but just like tube sites his image is all over the web with the charges. The kid was 17. In NC that is considered a adult.

    Good. Exploiting people who are at rock bottom for your own selfish gain is fucked up. Plain and simple.

    It’s such a creepy and disgusting site.

    To be honest though Yelp does this too.
    I know business owners who are trolled by them constantly ( good reviews disappearing and bad ones sticking for years if they don’t pay ).

    I hate reminding everyone of this but the site MyLife pulls this shit on people but with personal info, usually not including photos but sometimes yes.

    I'm trying to get my info off of the but part of the process involves submitting MORE info to them so I'm leery. All I can do now is cover my tracks from this point on.

    ^A lot of sites exploit out private data.

    I get the public has a right to know certain sh*t but damn! the average citizen, or the people who have turned their lives around, deserve a certain level of privacy.

    Reminds me of how Zuckerburg was allowing the advertisers who paid him to exploit FB users privacy/data and then when he was grilled about how he would feel if his personal info was exposed, that trick froze up speechless. Some of these site owners are extreme narcissists/psychopaths.

    I'm surprised that Burlesque Baller dude who was always ranting about seedy owners of mugshots sites is not all over this thread lol

    FWIW rich people have ways of hiding info or demanding info be taken down. For the rest of us we have to deal with these (basically) extortionists.

    Duh Re: Mugshots.com Owners Arrested For Extortion

    IF anyone is having difficulty removing content from search results, I wrote a 5 part multi-series to just anhilate your entire search index by essentially branding yourself and fortifying your name. The difficulty and time involved vary. I've done reputation management for some people that took months and I've done it for high level CEO types that I melted in just 6 days.

    Despite using an alias there is always a posibility someone could potentially find out your name with things like google image search or lexis nexis. So it is good to have a solid offense game and know how to take necessary counter measures against these types of scumbags.

    So far my guides have helped a few hundred people push back slander several pages, these mugshots.com guys strong points are their exploitation of picture syndication.


    Hopefully none of you ladies have to ever deal with one of these dirtbags, I've been in a full blown skirmish with one and I managed to get like 3 of his domains knocked out of the game through a variance of differnet tactics and countermeasures. I even had to learn how to Pro Se a 512(h) Subpoena to get one of these dudes addresses lol. (saved 300 bucks though!) I call it Obfuscation Through Search Result Domination, I hope it helps. I'll get that site taken down eventually I can promise you that!

    Not cool. I personally try to avoid gossip- it’s just brings negative energy to my life experience. I hope his site gets shut down. Unless someone is a serious threat to society, they don’t need their photo and crimes plastered on the internet for the whole world to see.

    I found a loophole for "MYLIFE". Just write some random shit about yourself on the site....then call up and say your under-age kid did it. THEY TOOK DOWN MY ENTIRE PROFILE when I requested the comments and profile just be removed.

    I just looked this case up again and all the info is from last May? I think if you have social media accounts you should share these articles. This one explains at the end how people can join the lawsuit: https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas...ur-individuals

    The story has basically disappeared from the public eye. But we can change that if you share and tag news outlets: Vice, Motherboard, Buzzfeed..maybe even the Shaderoom or Bossip?

    Please don't quote my posts and inject French spam into the body of the quote. Don't become as hated as the Mumbai escorts. Who are advertising on a site for mostly women, so .........very.............stupid.
