A man from Nova Scotia, Brandon Klayme, was sentenced to 18 months in prison due to a mistake involving a username in a child-luring investigation. The investigation, which began in Madison, Wisconsin, and extended to Halifax, was based on a request for records for the username 'fus_ro_dah' (with one underscore) instead of the correct username 'fus__ro_dah' (with two underscores). This error led authorities to Klayme instead of the actual suspect.
