This is the link I just copy and pasted here. I thought it was a joke when I seen it at first. I seen someone post it in the shout box here but again I thought it was a joke.

Dutch police have posted "friendly" messages on two of today's largest hacking forums warning cyber-criminals that "hosting criminal infrastructure in the Netherlands is a lost cause."
The messages were posted following "Operation Ladybird," during which law enforcement agencies across several countries intervened to take down Emotet, one of today's largest botnets.
Dutch police played a crucial role in the Emotet takedown after its officers seized two of three key Emotet command and control servers that were hosted in the Netherlands.
But today, Dutch police revealed that after the Emotet takedown, its officers also went on Raid and XSS, two publicly accessible and very popular hacking forums, and posted messages in order to dissuade other threat actors from abusing Dutch hosting providers to host botnets or other forms of cybercrime.
A message in English was posted on Raid, a forum popular with stolen data traders, and a second message, in Russian, was posted on XSS (formerly known as DamageLab), a Russian-speaking forum where hackers rent access to malware-as-a-service operations, and a forum usually frequented by today's top ransomware gangs.

A link to a YouTube video was also included, a video that ends with a message from Dutch police that says: "Everyone makes mistakes. We are waiting for yours."
