Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized 16 websites and arrested a Michigan man as part of an operation to crack down on pirated streams of sports games and counterfeit sportswear ahead of the Super Bowl. Yonjo Quiroa, 28, of Comstock Park (MI) was arrested and charged with operating nine of the 16 websites seized as part of Operation Fake Sweep, which was announced at the Super Bowl Media Center in Indianapolis. "Sports fans may be tempted by illegal streaming websites, but in the end, it is they who pay the price," said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara.
