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."

If you haven't made a developer cry, you've wasted a day.
Also Ralsky has done a lot more than just this. I cringe from the bad memories after he convinced a former employer of mine that spamming animal porn was a great way to make money.
Oh, but it is! It really is!
because sometimes bad things happen to bad poeple.
That's rubbish. It might be a good way, but no way is it a great way.
You know what they say about opinions. They're all fabulous!

.44 slug in their brainpan, but at least they had the nerve to go out and confront the people they wanted to fuck over. Ralsky sat on his bloated, porcine ass behind the safe glow of his monitors and zillions of layers of firewalls and he stole from us for years. He stole our time, our resources, our bandwidth, our security, our privacy, and our feeling of idealistic hope for the future of the net.
Not as much as me, you don't. I want Ralsky imprisoned, beaten, chained, ass-raped on a daily basis, shivved, shanked, stabbed, tear-gassed, napalmed, face-raped, cock-punched and sodomized by the most massive, cruel, heartless, multiple-STD-carrying maniac convicts that a shitty B-grade prison movie could invent. For years that fat fuck has willingly and gleefully shit all over my inbox, my servers, and the net in general knowing all the while that not a single goddamned person on earth was interested in what he was selling unless they were certifiably ripe for scamming or being conned. I'll give a tiny amount of begrudging credit to someone who has the brass ones to take a pipe or a gun and rip off a convenience store. They're shit and they should die with a
Seriously. Fuck that guy...
(I'm posting late and drunk, so if you're somehow related to law enforcement, consider this my disclaimer of any wish to actually have any of that stuff up there come true. If you're a convict with rabies, herpes, and a rare form of airborne contagious cancer, I have a few bucks with your name on it if... well, you know. Stuff happens, donnit?)
A brief call for empathy is by no means half-witted.
However, the fact that you have a "most humble opinion", yet no sack to reveal your userID, _and_ managed an Insightful mod, underscores your point completely.
