Personal note:

The underlying statement here is somewhat... shocking.

The chances of a "...second Internet.." emerging has a snowball's
chance in hell of actually coming to pass, and shows the non-committal
stance (and technical inability) of law enforcement to actually
tackle the hard problems of cyber crime.

Also, as an aside, this is primarily the job that I have taken in
2008 – outreach to law enforcement, ISPs, and incident response
handling organizations (e.g. CERTS, CSIRTS, etc.) to build channels
to stop these issues from continually falling through the cracks.

The problem is very bad, and unfortunately, it looks like it might
get worse before it gets better. We have our work cut out for us...
