McGraw admitted that he intended to use the bots and the compromised computers to launch DDoS attacks on the websites of rival hacker groups. He was sent to jail after a security expert named Wesley McGrew tipped off the FBI in 2009.

He became a two-time fugitive and attempted to flee the country. He broke into a US Customs-controlled shipyard and blackmailed the captain of a cargo ship into taking him to Nigeria after discovering that they were disabling their AIS tracking beacon while in international waters.
