Oh yes, it is to be believed.
These sorts of raids and confiscations were routine during the 80s and
early 90s. Ever heard of "Operation Sundevil"? That was the last major
nationwide "hacker"ocrackdown" in the 90s. I read "Hacker
Crackdown"
years ago and can't remember if it describes those particular raids.
I believe it does go into detail on Sundevil. The full book
is available in AmigaGuide format, though I no longer recall where I
saw it posted...it's been a couple of years since I saw that version.
It was pretty interesting reading though. I remember the BBS raids
of the late 80's myself. Mine was never raided but I knew a couple
of people that it happened to on charges of 'software piracy'.
