Disney sent letters last week to an undisclosed number of members of its 
movie club, warning them that their names and addresses, and their credit 
cards' types, numbers and expiration dates, were in the hands of a suspect

dated July 6, was forwarded to the Orlando Sentinel on Friday.

David Haltinner, 25, of Wisconsin was arrested in the case in Wisconsin on 
May 24 and charged in Nashville, Tenn., with a federal felony of

criminal complaint are sealed, however, and officials of the U.S. Secret 
Service, which ran the sting, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville 
have declined to offer details so far.
