Sounds like a bum rap to me. :-)

Distributed denial of service protection solutions provider Prolexic
Technologies says it was wrongly accused of hosting gambling Web sites when
New York authorities broke up an online betting ring on Thursday, according
to reports.

Police issued a 33-count indictment regarding an illegal Internet gambling
ring and Prolexic was identified by a traceroute as the Web hosting
provider for an Internet sports book. However, Prolexic says it is being
wrongly accused, and was not involved in hosting the gambling operation.

The company says its proxy service makes it appear, through a traceroute,
as though Prolexic is the host of the site.
