It might be that the 800 number was pulled because of a bizarre overnight phone scam being perpetuated by prisoners at Starke Correctional facility. Someone allegedly could have gotten into the system and began using the WTAN incoming lines to in turn place calls throughout the world soliciting funds for an elaborate and shady ponzi scheme involving biodiesel futures. Inmates stood to make millions of dollars in "investments" and could have been able to call the WATS lines, and activate the outgoing lines to place the calls. The called party may have been solicited by a slick talking con-man to make deposits into phantom accounts in one of six Miami based International Savings Banks in bogus names. Associates of the prisoners may have been able to simply make ATM withdrawels on a twice-weekly basis, then funnel the money into large drug and prostitution rings operating in various cities in New York, Oregon, Florida, Illinois and Arizona. The newly laundered money could then have been transported in cash across state lines and "distributed" to prison officials who "looked the other way" and provided inmates unattended access to secretly installed banks of local telephones.
This could have happened at more than 150 radio stations throughout the country.
Or maybe not.
Eh..
