This makes me very glad. As many know, Hoaxing disgusts me. Hoaxers are a stain on the shirt of the serious paranormal fans.
I only wish, they were fined quite a bit more than they were.
Hoaxers are a big reason why these subjects are not taken by the MSM and by people in general.
I am so glad they were fined, Hopefully people will think twice now before hoaxing. now it is no longer worth it because they will end up in trouble if they get caught.
