Might I remind everyone of the simplicity involved in spoofing mail as
well as IP addresses.  

Can I suggest that any concerned parties contact:

Vegasone.com:

The catchalls first: abuse@vegasone.com, root@vegasone.com and
			postmaster@vegasone.com

then the formal NIC contacts:

After Hours (VEGASONE-DOM)
   2601 Grand Canyon
   Las Vegas, NV 89117

   Administrative Contact:
      Olson, Rich  (RO393)  ah@VEGASONE.COM
      702-227-5877
   Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
      Robert Duran, Jr.  (JR1907)  rduran@NETXS.NET
      (702) 227-1501
   Billing Contact:
      Pedersen, David  (DP593)  dave@NETXS.NET
      (702) 227-1501

as well as vegasone.com's ISP NETXS.NET:

Net XS Communications (NETXS-DOM)
   3580 Polaris Avenue, Suite 27
   Las Vegas, NV 89103
   US

   Billing Contact:
      Pedersen, Kim  (KP312)  kim@NETXS.NET
      (702) 368-2222

This really isn't CERT's problem, or I'd suggest CC'ing cert@cert.org,
as they are more in the domain of malicious breaking-and-entering.
As well, there are MANY SPAM web sites with suggestions.

This talk of FBI is rather overreactionary, as the abusing user@host
can always be blocked from the list.

Just my opinion, as we're wasting bandwidth pursuing this :)
