I help a friend run some gaming servers one of our server providers gave us an extra web hosting site, we have a site already and we use this extra one only for testing purposes. I guess if someone sent me the pics I could just host them there since it's not used for anything 99% of the time.
From reading Josem's last post there shouldn't be any downside to this.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'd find it pretty easy to make the argument that photos of people alleged to be involved in these sorts of activities serve a pretty self-evident public interest.
I also found this while randomly browsing for nick gaskin (gotta click down some replies); http://genforum.genealogy.com/gaskin/messages/400.html prolly useless and its pretty old and I guess the email doesnt exist anymore but .. ok. Also the email is being given by a certain Patricia giving an email from ngaskin@etc so
Just read whole thread, so sick, this guy has serious problems. Who creates a fake life on the internet to scam some people. Also, how much do these tickets cost that he seems to be scamming a lot of people out of? From all the stuff we don't know he has scammed, maybe he does really own that $7.5M apartment(well, obv not but you get my point). And seriously, after about 4k posts on here with fantasies posted in different subforums, he goes with a scam worth 3.5k? Nick L. Gaskin is not only a scammer, but a stupid one.
And lastly, what is going on now? He's out on bail in the UK? Hopefully they took his passport or something? Even though he'll probably somehow use a fake one or something and disappear to some country where he will sit down at the local casino to lose more of his scamed money.
Those images were pictures of an alleged fraudster, who is currently under investigation in various jurisdictions across the world. Those images were uploaded by an online community concerned about fraud that is allegedly being perpetrated by Nick Gaskin.
It is understood that Mr Gaskin is currently an international fugitive, who is seeking to evade investigation for his alleged crimes. The international search for Mr Gaskin roams from Australia to the United Kingdom, and publication of the above images is helpful in the search for this alleged conman.
Could you please:
a) explain why the images stopped being hosted by ImageShack?
b) Provide the contact details of the complainant that caused the images to stop being hosted by ImageShack?
c) Restore your hosting services for the above images?
There appears to be a very obvious public interest in helping to detect and uncover crime, and it would seem that ImageShack can play a helpful and useful role in this process by allowing the above images to be published without interference from the alleged conman.
I would be happy to discuss this further with you if required: I can be contacted by email to michael@michaeljosem.com or by phoning +61 408 348 631. I am based in Sydney, Australia, so if calling, please be aware that my time zone is currently 11 hours ahead of GMT.
Thanks for giving this your consideration, and thanks in advance for restoring the publication these images. I hope that ImageShack will be able to act as a responsible conduct for this important information.
