   Yep.  From http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f1700/1763.htm

            Civil Action No. 98-1232

   The DoJ does file criminal charges when they believe there is =
criminal activity.  For an example, see =
http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/guidelines/11313.htm for a list of some =
criminal antitrust cases and the associated fines levied.  The largest =
fine is in the criminal case at =
http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f2400/2452.htm which lists the case as

            Criminal No. 3:99-CR-184-R

   Now Mike Miller isn't one to let petty details like the truth get in =
the way of his FUD so don't expect a retraction from him.  I wouldn't =
even expect him to stop spreading what he knows, or at least now knows, =
to be a lie.  Given that Mike likes to quote from the proceedings of the =
courts in this case when he believes it suits him, he should have been =
well aware that this was a civil proceeding since this detail is listed =
on all the court proceedings as part of the case number and is often =
referenced in the many discussions of the rules of civil procedure that =
have arisen.
