Another Major Spammer Busted

Iphtashu Fitz writes "25 year old Christopher William Smith, considered one of the worlds biggest spammers by the Spamhaus Project, is now sitting in a jail without bond. Smith allegedly had a doctor issue 72,000 prescriptions in the space of one year in conjunction with orders obtained through spamming. The doctor, Philip Mach, had a license to practice medicine in New Jersey but he provided prescriptions to people throughout the United States without ever evaluating them, both of which are big no-no's. Federal authorities have already seized over $3 million in cash, luxury cars, and houses."

    What is wrong with people consuming the drugs that they want?

    Why not use a filter if you don't like spam?

    Our country is a police state jailing more people per capita that any country in the world except for China.

    I expect both countries to go through a revolution in the 10-30 years. I think China will change without much bloodshed because some people are still alive from the last revolution. Although, the U.S. revolution will be the bloodiest war in world history just like the first civil war.

    Nazis always think they can get away with redistribution by force, but it never works. All those people getting FMLA, Child Tax Credits, SS, House mortgage deductions, and all the other Nazi programs will pay for thier theft from the real working class.

    No, they get richer! I love the US medical industry.

    About, which, apparently, you know nothing.

    Yes, I am a doc, and your behavior was foolish and illegal. You want to accuse me of childish anger and "dumb sh*t?" Allow me...

    When your pain medicine doesn't take care of the pain, the answer is to call your doctor and make some alternative arrangements. The answer is most definitely NOT to make your own executive decision to increase the dose... that's how people overdose and get hurt. You had 12 ounces of Lortab elixer? That's 360ccs, or roughly 24 standard doses, generally prescribed every 4-6 hours. You went to medical school where again? Never mind... forget medical school... just do the basic math.

    Even more foolish is your decision to go get some street drugs from a "friend." You went ahead and took a mystery pill given to you by some "friend?" You're certainly a trusting soul... Was he a pharmacist? Did you look up the imprint code on the pill?

    You also realize, do you not, that Lortab is the same thing as Vicodin? Look it up if you dont believe me. Of course, you could have been taking a large amount of the vicodin (even more foolish), but otherwise, you've been the victim of the placebo effect.

    Dumb sh*t indeed.
