What do you think? Incompetence or accidentally on purpose?

if u had any experience dealing with authorities, you would not ask that question.
Ofc theyre dumb, and i highly doubt they would be capable of releasing such info, in a plot of some kind.

i may be wrong, but highly doubt it.

cheers

they likely put the email addresses in the "to" field instead of the "bcc" field in microsoft outlook

Maybe he got bribed to reveal the identities of the bidders, and made this to have a plausible denial for them leaking.

Too stupid to be just a mistake :facepalm

More importantly is the fact that the government seized the private property of individuals to begin with.

You may be leaving out a bit in your story here.

... nearly all of this money was gained trough illicit endeavors!!

(if you sold your used panties: know you are a whore. If you offerd "home work help" aka gostwriting services: don't know of any law forbidding that, but it's amoralic too.)

What do you think?

That you should have searched first, and found that there were already several threads on this subject, rather than posting yet another one.

OP may have not checked before posting................ but then again US Marshals didnt check before posting the email either Cheesy

Touche....

It sounds like it was sent less via a reply all response and more like the email was sent to a distribution list (maybe the addresses were put in the "to" field instead of the "bcc" field.

guess you never heard the story of how many different governments always stupidly leave file folders, pieces of paper, memory sticks, CD's, hard drives, laptops laying around.. let alone just accidently leaving all competitors email addresses in the CC line
