Two suspects who were arrested in Canada last year with Israeli hacker 
Ehud Tenenbaum have been cleared of all the charges against them.

A third suspect, Tenenbaum's girlfriend, is still charged with helping 
him commit millions of dollars in fraud. Tenenbaum himself is out on 
$30,000 bail but is being sought by the United States for extradition to 
New York to face felony charges of conspiracy and fraud.

Canadian Crown Prosecutor Jane McClellan stayed the charges against 
Spyros Xenoulis, 33, and Ralph Jean-Francois, 28, (various news reports 
have called him Ralph Jean-Francois and Jean Francois Ralph; Threat 
Level's efforts to clear up the confusion have so far been unsuccessful)

case against them for up to a year.

Priscilla Mastrangelo, 30 (whom Tenenbaum has identified as his

news reports.
