The whole thing began over a year ago when Microsoft filed a complaint with
the FBI alleging that Robert Keppel, the owner/operator of CheetSheets.com,
was selling products that contained actual test questions taken verbatim
from Microsoft MCSE and MCSD certification exams. In September 2001, the
FBI
made its move on Keppel, seizing a great deal of evidence. The evidence
showed that Keppel had arranged to purchase MS exam questions from a source
in Pakistan, who had obtained questions by photographing or videotaping the
exams at a Pakistani test center. Keppel began selling these questions
sometime in 1999. It's obvious that there was a lot of demand for this
material: Keppel's merchant credit card account records showed that his
business made over $750,000.
