Nicholas Barbati, who was also running an online prostitution ring, was sentenced to four years in federal prison.

Barbati was making a lot of hoax calls via his computer — more than 500, according to his plea agreement — including to emergency dispatchers in other countries.

On Tuesday, Barbati was sentenced to four years in prison during a hearing that included testimony from NASA space shuttle launch director Mike Leinbach.

And if the prank calls weren't odd enough, authorities say, Barbati was running a prostitution service through Craigslist, took the women's personal information, and then filed more than a dozen false tax returns under their names.

Space launch director testifies?  Could only be to get an accurate description of how high this dude must be.  Hydrazine and Thorazine are component of or deriviatives from rocket propellants, and are (or were) used to "treat" psychosis.  In any case sounds like this fool was in a chemically altered state.  Staying closer to earth all one can think is: Wow, this dude is really fucked up.

Great post!
