Oh, man. I read this story the other day and I was like, "Oh snap, she totally pwned him!"
And then the follow up today? WOW. Pwnage flying around left and right. You gotta check this out.
The first story (http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2011/06/08/how-to-use-facebook-to-send-your-estranged-husband-to-jail/) goes something like this:
A man is arrested by federal authorities and charged with a felony for installing a GPS device in his ex-wife’s car. Nothing too unusual, right? Except the ex-wife found out about this GPS device through a fake Facebook account that she used to friend the ex-husband and then "struck up a rapport with him via private Facebook message." During this "rapport," the ex-husband confesses/boasts about using a GPS device to track his ex-wife as well as saying things like:
"Along with disclosing that he planned to flee with his children in early-June, Voelkert wrote that he was “going to find someone to take care of her and now it will be easier because I know where she is at all times.” He then added, “you should find someone at your school, there should be some gang bangers there that would put a cap in her ass for $10,000. I am just done with her crap!”
In a subsequent message, Voelkert stated, “With me gone with my kids, the police can’t pin anything on me as I will be in another state, so I will be fine.”
Murder for hire! GPS tracking! All over a custody dispute!
Feds swoop in, arrest the guy, and then you think, "Wow, that ex-wife sure got him. What a silly man for telling all of this to an anonymous internet 'friend'!"
But it gets better.
The second story (http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2011/06/09/estranged-husband-wasnt-actually-duped-by-fake-teenage-facebook-account/) reveals that the /ex-husband/ knew all along that it was the ex-wife and was trolling her hardcore!
Federal prosecutors arrested David Voelkert on Friday, but then dropped the charges today. In a domestic dispute version of Spy vs. Spy, it turns out that Voelkert knew that his wife was behind the sexy teen account the whole time. He was playing her, in the hopes of proving that Angela Voelkert, 29, was “still tampering with his life,” reports the Smoking Gun. He got a notarized sworn affidavit on May 25 explaining his plan right after he received the friend request from “Jessica Studebaker.”
Not only did he know, he had the foresight to get a /notarized affidavit/ before hand (wherein he kept one for himself and left a copy with a relative) stating that he knew that it was his ex-wife and that he was totally just trolling her and he didn't intend to do any of the things that he said.
I think they are already divorced. They are fighting over custody of their kids and were each trying to gain some advantage in court using this subterfuge.
I dunno if this should go in general or blog? But when I doubt, I err on the side of putting in Blog. If it should go to general, if a mod could kindly fix that, I'd be much obliged.

Dude. This would be mind-blowing.
I feel like I've seen something like this before in a TV show or cartoon or something. Possibly Bugs Bunny / Warner Bros cartoon, where each character keeps unzipping their outside and revealing that it is actually someone else underneath? Anyone else know what I'm talking about here?

There has to be an easier way to stop your wife from interfering with your life right? Like...divorce? lol.
The main issue is that he >was< in a divorce, and they were in a messy one. Fighting for custody of their kids. So that "easy" way became a shithole lol!
Monte Cristo level shenanigans going on... this is awsome lol.
I hope some1 makes the troll face into a giant poster and sets it up on her front lawn or something. would be AMAZING. lol this is soooo epicly brilliant of the dude
You KNOW she was reading the hitman part like "0_o !!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG" and he was just laughin his ass off about it.

Notarys don't read the document they are there to certify you signed it on that date and time. At least thats my experience with them. Awesome rl trolling

Haha. I just read the article on some news site. He ended up spending 4 days in jail so It's hard to tell who won but what she did was definitely in the wrong.

Yeah, that happens pretty often. Spongebob has it as well, somewhere during season 5. Can't find a youtube video of it but it's awesome.
Plankton: (standing on the Krusty Krab sign with a piece of paper in his hand) I win! I always win!
SpongeBob: Not to rain on your parade or anything, but you always lose.
Plankton: No, SpongeBob, I always... (his head turns into Mr. Krabs)
Mr. Krabs: ...win!
SpongeBob: (gasps) Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: That's right! I stole me own formular!
SpongeBob: But if you're Mr. Krabs, then who's... (the other Mr. Krabs rips off his suit to show the Robot Krabs from "Imitation Krabs") Mr. Krabs is a robot!! (Robot Krabs opens its head up to reveal Plankton)
Plankton: No, you idiot.
SpongeBob: Plankton?! What the barnacles is going on here?
Mr. Krabs: You see, we had a bet. Plankton's been trying for twenty years to steal me formula, and he's never done it.
Plankton: I almost had it 37 times, and you know it!
Mr. Krabs: Tell it to the claw, sister. Last time he failed, we made a bet. (flashback to Mr Krabs laughing while Plankton is crying on the ground) You can't beat me, Plankton. I always win!
Plankton: You've got the easy part. I'd like to see you do my job.
Mr. Krabs: Oh, yeah right. If I was you, I could steal me formular me try.
Plankton: Ha! The usual wager?
Mr. Krabs: You're on. (flashback ends) So, through a series of events far too elaborate to go into right now, we flawlessly assumed each others lives and I beat Plankton at his own game... and destroyed his place of business!! (laughs) Now pay up.
Plankton: Here you go, Eugene! (takes out a dollar) One a-dollar!
Patrick: Not so fast! (rips his suit off to reveal Squidward)
SpongeBob: Squidward? Then who are you?
Squidward: I'm not... (SpongeBob tears off his face) ...wearing a disguise.
SpongeBob: Hmmm, if he's Squidward, then you must be... (fake Squidward rips off his suit to reveal Sandy) ...Sandy?
Sandy: Whoops, wrong outfit. (rips off suit to reveal another SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: (gasping) OOOOOOHHHHH!! You're me! Then I must be... (rips off his suit to reveal Patrick)
Patrick: Patrick!
SpongeBob: Nah, I'm just kidding. (rips off the SpongeBob suit and reveals another Patrick)
Patrick: I really am Patrick. (laughs. Other Patrick rips off his suit to reveal SpongeBob again)
SpongeBob: Good one, Patrick! (both laugh) There's just one thing I don't understand.
Mr. Krabs What's that, laddie?
SpongeBob: That. (points to two Patrick's laughing beside each other)

Wow, that's messed up. If either of them did this knowingly and with the intent to win custody over the kids then I can't blame either of them. However if the wife did this just to find out if the guy was cheating or something then's she's an evil witch and deserves no sympathy.
The article doesn't explain their motives so it's kinda hard to judge.
On the one hand: Owned. On the other hand: That is fucking disgusting. Imagine your friend tells you after a horrible argument "oh man I hate you so much I just want to kill you and your family". You are not worried at all? He scared the shit out of her, she had fucking fear of death and its all just trolling.

She wouldn't have had that feeling if she just left the man alone and not try to deceive him.

Being a divorced dude, I can attest that the bullshit we have to put up with from crazy women makes this completely reasonable. The fact that she was going out of her way to try and interfere with this man's life to try and further her case in the custody battle is revolting.
Keep in mind the man got the notory AFTER the fake account tried to add him on Facebook, this was only planned and thought of AFTER he realized his ex was trying to interfere with him.
I think he did a good job. He turned the tables around on her. I hope he gets custody because of this.
EPT
