Ex-retailer arrested: ICv2.com reports that Ross Rojek, former head of the Comics & Comix chain and CEO of Another Universe.com, has been arrested by the FBI on fraud charges stemming from his operation of Face Information Technology:

"Rojek purportedly told investors his company was developing a face recognition software system that would match facial images to a database, but according to an FBI spokesperson, 'it doesn't seem to be anything he was seriously working on.' According to the FBI the prospectus Rojek produced for Face IT included bogus biographies of the company's management team claiming that they were all experienced 'former executives of Netscape Communications.'"
