Security Fix obtained a copy of the complaint against "Steven Rambam"
the private investigator arrested Saturday at the Hope Number Six
hacker conference in New York City. The government document says Rambam
is an alias, and that his real name is Steven Rombom, so that is how
he'll be referred to here henceforth.

The complaint [.pdf] charges Rombom with obstruction of justice and
with witness tampering, alleging that in April 2006 Rombom impersonated
a federal investigator at the request of a client who had hired him to
locate a government informant who was central to the client's
money-laundering indictment in 2003.
