And I found another interesting text on this website:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">One of the most conspicuous of them was Michael Howe who led a gang of 28 which cut a swathe of terror through Tasmania from 1812 to 1818, stealing sheep, burning crops and houses. He had a mountain hide-out, acquired a devoted aboriginal 'wife', Black Mary, and fancied himself as a Dick Turpin who robbed from the rich and helped the poor. He was shot and beheaded by bounty hunters in 1818.</font>
And with some deeper research I found the original text of it, stolen without any scruple from a website called ft.com...:
...One of the most conspicuous of them was Rudi who was member of a gang of 28.000 which cut a swathe of terror through the airliners-country since 1987, booking deeply discounted RTW tickets, burning just one UA SWU for 29.000 miles and gaining millions of bonus nugget miles on their gold-cards. He met with another guy called Randy in a mountain hide-out called the house-of-miles, who fancied himself as Robin Hood who rubbed the rich airliners and helped out his poor ft-gang with tips for free upgrades.
He was shot and beheaded by bounty hunters. - Nope, wrong sentence-, He was honored by the miles-marshals with fancy cards and ever since gets free op upgrades...
