I doubt that Cole Bartiromo and Newsball would be in any way considered mainstream, much less media.
Here is an article about his own previous exploits and adventures in prison:

Former teen swindler tries to start over
Cole Bartiromo, now 26 and out of prison, seeks a new and legitimate career as 'The Dollar Scholar.'

"Bartiromo went to prison for 33 months in 2004 for two frauds he committed after the Internet scam. In November 2009, just weeks before his probation was about to end for those crimes, he went back to prison for violating probation by using a cell phone in a halfway house.
He got out of prison in late July and ended a mandatory stint in a halfway house in late September, and no longer is under federal supervision.
However, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service continue to chase Bartiromo for fines that now total $2.8 million."
Quite a long and interesting article.
