Jailed Spam King Caught Conspiring to Kill Witness

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spam-mafioso dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Spam king Christopher William Smith, aka Rizler, is facing up to life in prison for conspiracy to tamper with a witness and up to 20 years for endeavoring to obstruct justice. The charges are based on an alleged phone call in which he threatened to have a witness or the witness' family killed to prevent them from testifying against him in an upcoming trial on drug and related charges.

      If he doesn't enjoy the assreaming he's getting from inmate #49147, he can simply opt out of future pelvic thrusts by saying "I opt out of future pelvic thrusts" to inmate #49147.

      Of course, inmate #49148 has as much right as #49147 to offer his exciting products and and services as #49147 does. It's only one stroke, right? Just opt out, Rizler! Just opt out!

    Having opt-out's slain is frowned upon by the legal system.

    [Fooz] In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penisses, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

    Looks like we are one step closer to this "perfect world" Fooz speaks of!

    It was one of several calls made by Smith to numbers not linked with his defense attorney that officials at the Elk River facility monitored and recorded.

    Remember, when you're going to call someone from jail to discuss killing a witness have them steal your attorney's cell phone first...
