Squirrel Extraordinaire
Ooh, this is interesting. Marty just posted a SECRET 2007 OSA program called "FREEZONE CIS – FINAL HANDLING PROGRAM."
It's at http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/03/18/osas-war-against-independence/
This is the program information section:
1. Discover and exploit the crimes (hee hee) of the leaders. More importantly, probably, is to discover violations of legal requirements (business licenses, building codes, copyright issues etc. etc.) and report them to the appropriate authorities or in the case of copyright/trademark violations make legal threats.
2. Third party the hell out of the different individuals and groups.
So indies and FZers who deliver stuff should be careful to get their legal ruds in order, and be wary of third-party actions. Just because Marty hasn't posted them does not mean there aren't similar extant programs in the US and western Europe too.

This is the program information section:
During the second half of 2006, 5 Freezone (FZ) delivery activities closed down in Russia. Still, these handlings are moving too slow. There are another 15 groups that are part of the CIS Freezone network. There are also four groups in the Ukraine and one each in Moldova and Belarus. The squirrels violate our marks and copyrights and they must be handled NOW.
There are connections between CIS squirrel activities and the Western EU groups in Bern, Frankfurt and Munich. The Swiss squirrels operate as OLs for the Russian ones. The Swiss ringleader has organized “training camps” in Russia. It was also learned that the key FZ members in Switzerland and Germany have “solved” their shortage of delivery materials by concentrating the lower level training materials on a Russia-based server which they access through a secret password they share.
I'm not going to post the whole thing. But it basically hinges on two actions, both done after infiltrating the groups concerned:There are connections between CIS squirrel activities and the Western EU groups in Bern, Frankfurt and Munich.
