Mother Annette Lundeby perpetuates hoax: Son not
detained under Patriot Act.
Reports appearing on LewRockwell.com and elsewhere indicate public press has induced US attorney David Capp to issue a release saying the alleged Patriot Act detention of 16-year-old Ashton Lundeby is, in fact, unrelated to the Patriot Act. In interviews by WRAL-TV in Raleigh, Alex Jones, NC, William Grigg and myself Ashton’s mother Annette Lundeby, insisted he was being detained under the Patriot Act.
Things began to unravel this morning when a reader forwarded Youtube links purporting to be Ashton Lundeb y making prank calls, even bomb threats, under the alias “Tyrone.”
At 2:09 PM today, William Grigg wrote on LewRockwell.com that a "Not for distribution outside law enforcement" memo and press release by US Attorney David Capp insist that Ashton’s detention "is unrelated to the PATRIOT act."
And most damning, a piece on wired.com quotes “Australian student Jason Bennett” as saying Lundeby phoned bomb threats into schools in exchange for money, and that his mother might even have been aware of his activities.
Is the Lundeby Patriot Act detention a hoax? Is he guilty as sin? Is his mother lying?
Maybe not.
An interview late today with mother Annette Lundeby revealed that while Ashton did indeed participate in crank calls. (Were you ever a teenager? If so, remember “Do you have Prince Albert in a can?) The vast majority of what I have heard of what were, allegedly, Ashton Lundeby’s crank calls were of that nature.
But one or more of those YouTube videos feature the audio of a bomb threat. Is the voice Ashton Lundeby? I don’t know, but his mother paints a very interesting scenario:
The source for the wired.com interview is Aussie “Jason Bennett.”Interestingly enough, one of the pranks participated in by “Tyrone” and others involves one of their friends, “JT” getting “vanned.” [Caution: Graphic language within.]
In this lovely scenario, one of their compatriots is apparently subject to – and I want you to remember this – a police search of his car for drugs – based on spurious calls made by HIS OWN FRIENDS.
They all get together and laugh about it afterward, but there is a precedent of setting cops on each other as a joke.
Moreover, Ashton’s mother immediately identified the probable source of the wired.com interview as somebody identified by the screen name “Britfag.” Is it “Jason Bennett?” Listen to the “vanned” prank and you will here not only a British or Australian accent on one of the perpetrators, but also the name “britfag.” Please note that Mrs. Lundeby maintains she has not seen any of the YouTube videos.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lundeby points out that if Ashton is not being held under the Patriot Act (they have stonewalled), and refused to release information to the original WRAL-TV interview with Amanda Lamb, ostensibly because the defendant is a juvenile, why do they issue one now?
Is Ashton guilty? There is at least a chance that his “buddies” co-opted his Internet identity – as maintained by his mother. It is plausible that the whole scheme went bad when they “vanned” him in his home by phoning in false bomb threats from his IP address?
Is it a Patriot Act detention? The government says no. Are they lying? Only public scrutiny will answer the question. One thing is for sure: The Ashton Lundeby case just got a lot more interesting.

This whole line of articles is disturbing. These are not just "teenage pranks" these kids are playing. The whole thing is beginning to stink on ice.
No information came from me at all Annette.
Jason Bennett was causing problems on the vent because he in fact donated money for a bomb threat that did not get carried out, and was butthurt because of this.
The fact of the matter remains is that the involved parties or so called "white knights" are wolves in disguise. The parties who perpetuated this arrest were simply upset things did not go there way.
Bennet is a fraud.
Lundeby is innocent.
Besides, the majority of this issue was caused by the famous Friday Night Cranks. Check them online this Friday on stikam. They even have one of the original prankers, Frank Vaulttackie.
There has been a great deal of information spread over this case.
Jason Bennett didn't get what he wanted, and has been trying to get revenge.
He in fact donated to have a bomb threat done to his own school- and when it did not get carried out, is when his grudge started.
Lol,
I see, so you guys are trying to discredit me by posting things like I am just angry that I didn't get my bomb threat?
I can provide proof (in the form of my PayPal statement) which will prove that I have never provided money to Ashton Lundeby, I have provided money to "Delicious_Cake" to keep his Ventrilo running prior to any bomb threats being made.
Jason Bennett you are a lying pig.U can't run far enough or hide for what u have done' Do u sleep with one eye open? u aren't far enough.....
You're a liar.
You donated money for the Trafalgar Square call, and when it didn't happen you done this.
I donated before the Trafalgar Square call, I have never donated after I heard about a bomb threat. Because the first bomb threat I heard about was Purdue, since then I was in contact with police.
lying troll
So, you admit you gave money to Delicious Cake, an internet users currently on Child Porn charges, as he was on these charges at the time, it makes one wonder what exactly you were paying him for eh?
Surely the word of someone who affiliates themselves with child porn collectors, and supplies them with funds, should not be taken for much!
Haha, I doubt it, this was before he ran away with all the donations. Besides, it was only $2 :)
Bennett is nothing more than a troll.
Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls.
For his own lulz, he decided to stick Tyrone in.
Epic troll is epic.
So Jason, you and Britf@g are two seperate people?
Well, considering I am Australian and he is British, we are two different people.
Just wondered after reading the article. His mommy thought you and he were one and the same.
Paul,you can listen to the five bomb threats that were made by "Tyrone" just before the FBI raid by following the mp3 link in the Wired story.
Then decide for yourself if, "There are twelve bombs located throughout the entire campus at the school," is really equivalent to, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
Kevin:
I get your point, and yes, I have heard the bomb threat audio too. The question is whether "Tyrone" made the calls. The timeline suggests he didn't, and with regard to similarities of voice, check my column later today: The answer is "not necessarily." -- FPV
You should know so much, I don't think your creditability is so good, seeing that you are a x-con hacker yourself. how much time did u do?
hey guys what's goin on
I wouldn't take his mother's word for it, she's withheld information to reporters to garner sympathy. mp3 says it all, hope the FBI can match his voice :)
I didn't lie to anyone, you fail troll, or the FBI would have arrested me. You are the sleaze bag that lied and called my son's girlfriend and her father and threaten to kill them, and then called back and said Ashton Lundeby did it. The funny thing was, Ashton had already been arrested. But her father from Italy knows that you are the one. I would be careful if I was you, Italians don't forget, and neither do I.
I, and the FBI, know for a fact you made some of those calls yourself, to get Ashton in trouble.
Tyrone (aka Ashton Lundeby) did it, plain and simple. Not only is he guilty because i was there when he made the call that the FBI cites as the reason they arrested him, but he made tons of other illegal calls before that. Unfortunately, many other prankers were in there doing illegal calls, but they've left Tyrone to burn alone while they get away scott free. Frank Vaulttackie, Rappy aka Snorlax, Britf*g and many other main prankers did very illegal prank calls, but as soon as tyrone got arrested they hit the ground running and are pretending like they hadn't done anything.
You are just as guilty , you sure seen to know all the names of all the players,funny thing, your name was on the list to. Ashton didn't do ALL those calls and YOU know that to. They are thinking about arresting everyone from that website. so maybe you better get a good attorney yourself.
Link??? If there is a vid of him making the calls where is it? I can SAT that santa did it but with out a link, well. Nice try.
Hope the kid does jail time, and maybe his mother goes up on charges. He is probably singing like a bird right now, so the rest of you cowards better watch out.
Me, go up on charges for what ? I NEVER LIED , TO ANYONE. If you don't believe that your government lies/ HOW ABOUT THIS? their was weapons of mass destruction..yea right...What kind of person are you that wish for a family to all go to jail ,over nothing you know nothing about? I graduated from the
Police Academy in 2001 in Pa. check it out. That would leave my kids with no parent. His father died, and was a Green Beret .This is a sad world we live in. You make me sick
Truth is Paul Valone jumped the gun with his 'story' and now knows more facts and is trying to cover his ass with half truths all over again.
Jason Bennett's, your a complete dumb@$$. You do know that PoisonIVY Rat's binded can make calls from their computer? It wasn't Ashton and I was in his vent. Never heard him make a bomb threat or AWARE that those type of calls were going on.
Mark Hoppus, your mad so you went in with this crime w/ Jason Bennett's cause Tyrone banned you from vent.
Mark Hoppus your a f*cking idiot why would you be in DIFTL if you didn't like that type of material being produced. GTFO kid, you are probly one of the people who got Tyrone v&. stop accusing other people of doing "illegal materials" because you being in there laughing or w/e you were doing you were apart of it and encouraging it I bet. R.I.P - Tyrone.
Why is mark hoppus still alive?
