The FCC does not have any field agents or other personnel with the e-mail address that Artie supposedly used to communicate with the FCC. A search for "Tesla Motorhome" shows only results for a "Tesla Forum" and other links for motor home related items, but no company with that name.
One good theory that is quite possible is that the FCC used Poet's internet service provider to get his address since Poet used an e-mail address for his QSL cards and other communication with Crystal Ship fans. Poet also used the FRN and Free Radio Cafe and they could have traced him that way.
Here are the respective e-mails to and from the FCC allegedly involving Artie, courtesy of WBNY:
are these e-mails REALLY authentic though? the answer is sadly that they ARE NOT and here is further proof:
A statement and detailed investigative findings done by the Crystal Ship themselves (maybe John Poet himself)
Commander Bunny has been exposed by Radio Paranoia by way of a show of evidence
Artie Bigley has a Facebook account at which he has not been active or said a peep. .
There is a MYLife account with the name Artie Bigley on it who claims to be from Columbus, Ohio. See, if THIS IS the right Artie and not someone else with the same name, then Artie still could not have sent that e-mail because FCC personnel have official FCC.gov e-mail addresses.
Examining the alleged return e-mail to Artie, there are two e-mail addresses used. Shortwave America was able to identify James Bridgewater as an FCC Agent and also as the FCC Michigan Office Emergency Contact. Neither of these e-mail addresses could be verified, another sign of a very badly faked e-mail. The only TRUE thing about this whole game is that James Bridgewater is employed by the FCC.
Maybe WBNY should have thought about his actions, but now he joins Kracker in the snitch ranks, never to be trusted again! Pirate operators, DXer's and everyone else take note that Bunny's game is to use his E-Bay sales list as his personal "hit list" in such fashion that he gives his information to the FCC when he wants to win a war he couldn't win otherwise! BAD BUNNY!!! Bad bunnies don't get no carrots, they don't get no trust, and definitely don't get no attention!!!

The Crystal Ship has only used a Gmail email account, from the Gmail site, for quite a few years. Emails done from the Gmail site do not give an I.P. address for the sender- so the FCC could not have gotten an IP address from us that way. (If you use pop access to send with a Gmail address, it can show your I.P. but I've never done that).
The Free Radio Cafe site was not created until AFTER the FCC bust had occurred-- although the domain name had been purchased. It was the bust itself that caused me to speed up the creation and opening of the website. In any case, there is no public or member access to user I.P.s on the Free Radio Cafe.
My use of the FRN would have provided my I.P. address to the admins, of whom Pat Murphy aka Commander Bunny was the main one for many years, and was at the time of my ebay purchase of a CB t-shirt, and likely still has access to the moderator tools which show user IPs. Matching the I.P. location of my posts, up the city of my ebay purchase would have given up my real name and address. Other information involved with that purchase provided an updated address after I had moved. The post office was not given a forwarding address.
In retrospect, yeah, it was stupid of me to use that site without a proxy, believing that my info would be secure there.
For the sake of clarity, I do not believe that Artie Bigley was in any way involved in our bust, or even had any information that would have been helpful. I've never even had any contact with him until after the bust had happened. Can't say the same about "CB"/PM, unfortunately.
It's really sad that all of this espionage within the pirate community is contributing to my losing interest in shortwave free radio listening ... also because, with KIPM long gone and TCS now history there is very little worth listening *to*.
Absolutely! This is the exact way the Citizen's Band radio service went away as we once knew it.
Could it be that Commander Bunny was sent that info by Poet or someone wanting to make him look guilty. The way I see it Poet is using his own bust to make ppl he had problems with in the past go away. Just something to think about.
That’s a tactic Pat would use on someone, not Poet. If you do some homework you’ll find that Pat/CB using aliases or ‘sockpuppets’ was the one who would run people off that he had problems with, especially if they didn’t behave they way he wanted them to.
If anything, Poet is using the suspicious circumstances of his bust as a warning to others to be careful and not trust mainly ONE individual who has a proven track record of manipulating, bullying and exposing other’s identities along with their families long before these recent FCC actions even took place.
Poet doesn’t need to provide Commander Bunny with any false information; CB illustrated he’s quite capable of doing this on his own when he first posted the fake emails and then attempted to re-edited them which still didn’t fix the one glaring fact that discredits them. But don’t take my word for it, check the screen captures of WBNY’s blogs, illustrating the changes that occured and same difference for past FRN postings as well….there’s a pattern of behavior that can easily be seen.
And there’s something to really think about.
