For those keeping tabs:

* Ozy executives have impersonated a YouTube executive during a phone call with potential investors [1]

* Ozy executives lied about who their investors are [2]

* Ozy then said it is shutting down [3]

* Ozy then said it is no longer shutting down! [4]

* And now it appears that the vast majority of their email list was purchased, stolen without permission or just re-subscribing people who had previously un-subscribed....
