Re: Isn't it always an attorney that messes it all up.

Remember what the IWF said in their guidelines.  It's illegal to look.  
Reporting the site does not protect you from the legal repercussions of 
having accessed it.

It's likely Pete's lawyer gave him the best advice at the time.  Reporting 
it might well have brought on the investigation and media frenzy that much 
earlier.  At that point, they couldn't have predicted the actual course of 
events and known that 1) the site would get busted, and 2) that Pete's 
credit card details would be unencrypted.
