This makes me very happy... justice...

An internet fraudster who ran a series of domain name scams was sentenced to six years in prison by Peterborough Crown Court yesterday after being found guilty of fraudulent trading, attempted blackmail and making threats to kill.

Peter Francis-Macrae, 23, was charged with nine offences, including fraudulent trading charges relating to the Domain Registry Services scam in 2004.
