A modder unlucky - or foolish - enough to advertise his Xbox 360 piracy and modchip business in the popular classified advertisement website Craigslist had his home raided by the San Diego Computer and Technology Crime High-Tech Response Unit (CATCH).

Thousands of pirated game software were confiscated from Frederick Brown's home in San Diego, as well as a considerable number of modchips. The modder was supposed to go about his piracy business scot-free, until the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) member company employees spotted his Craigslist advertisements. Said Ric Hirsch, Entertainment Software Association senior VP for intellectual property enforcement:

Some of our member companies had seen his listings on Craigslist. We started to make some inquiries on our own last year and eventually through our investigations accumulated enough evidence to bring it to the attention of the CATCH team.
