odd that 

what do you suppose they get out of taking out a site that baits 419 scam artists my guess is that the 419ers hired them since I find it unlikely that barely literate losers could create a monster like the storm botnet this points to a possibility of tracking them somehow if their services are available on the open market then maybe they can be found and dealt with. I think the contact point would be a spammer though turning one of them might be a little difficult.
