FBI Defends Disruptive Raids on Texas Data Centers

[nihil]

Or, maybe, the FBI is on to something and the victim is claiming ignorance. Maybe there is a thriving "underground" city living on those server domains. At least they posted a .pdf file which may contain the answer why.

You're on the money there. If you read the affidavit you will see that there is a relationship between Faulkner and Simpson.

Bad luck for co-locating at a site run by dodgy characters. OK the kit may be owned by innocent parties but when the people managing it come under suspicion for serious fraud, then everything is fair game.

Not to mention $2.5M in your private account when your outfit has a gross revenue of $460,000 a year?

That's just it though. Am I the only one who realises that it didn't stop at just a rack and a few computers!? These people carried away anything with buttons or cords.

Yeah, as it is a fraud investigation all they should have been interested in is stuff that holds data?

Mind you, why didn't the data centre have offsite backups?..........not a very good business continuity/disaster recovery model IMO.
