Spammer Alan Ralsky Indicted

Several users have written to tell us that notorious spammer Alan Ralsky has been indicted along with ten others on 41 counts of spam-related illegal activity. Ralsky has had trouble with the law in the past, and the current litany of charges includes mail and wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, and violation of federal spamming laws. From the Detroit Free Press: "The 41-count indictment said Ralsky ... and others used unsolicited e-mail to pump up the price of largely worthless stock in Chinese companies and sold the stock reaping huge profits and leaving Internet subscribers who purchased it holding the bag. The operation also used illegal methods to maximize the amount of spam that could be sent while evading spam-blocking devices and tricked recipients into opening and acting on advertisements, prosecutors said."

Re:Really so bad?

For years that fat fuck has willingly and gleefully shit all over my inbox, my servers, and the net in general

Am I the only one that thinks that still doesn't warrant getting "shivved" and "sodomized"? If you look at what you're saying in a rational way, all he really did was inconvenience you. I'd hate to accidentally step on your foot and physically harm you. I can't imagine the morbid things you'd wish upon me and my family.

Yes, he should be punished. Should he be mutilated and raped? No.
