...and complete with the missing man epilogue - adding to the intrigue.

Did that british h4x0r give Jeff a terminal virus?

Did he put an online hit on Jeff, promising a shiny new P-p-p-powerbook in return?

Is this an elaborate work of fiction?

...The world may never know....

Or did Jeff get nabbed for international mail fraud? Like you said, we will never know.

Is it a crime to scam a scammer?

no, but he DID send a package through the mail and claimed it was worth WAY more than it was, thereby causing the recipient (while justly) to pay money for it. I'm not saying it wasn't funny, but strictly legally saying there is probably some sort of transgression that occurred, by both parties.

But that would only work if the recipient decided to press charges.

That should happen shortly after monkeys fly outa my ass.

I think the Jeff guy is just waiting to see if it blows over, then will come back
