The EFF reports that, in an ironic twist of karma, FBI agents arrested a Mexican tycoon named Jose Susumo Azano Matsura at his Coronado, Calif. home on Wednesday as part of a political bribery investigation based on captured emails, seized banking records, and covertly recorded conversations. Azano, and three Americans who acted as his agents, are now facing felony charges in an alleged conspiracy to illegally pump roughly $500,000 into local election campaigns in the border city of San Diego.
Does SoylentNews have contributors from Mexico to share with us some insight (or just local gossip) about this shoddy character?"

I agree and would go so far as to say the Title and summary on the front page needs to be updated. If one wants to lead with how someone is a "surveillance evangelist" and how something ironic happened, then for crying out loud:
It's important to state front and center that the person in question owns a company that sells spyware to governments and that he has a history of promoting invasive technologies to further fuel state powers.
Then one can see the irony and bask in the glory, rather than
a) get annoyed and go somewhere else
or b) like me dig deeper, still annoyed.
I only researched further because I saw EFF was involved and they have a history of being on target. On Slashdot this post would get flamed to pieces I think. We need higher standards over here no? ;-)
