Telephony Fraudster Gets Lifetime Ban from Telecom Business

coondoggie passed us another NetworkWorld link, this one discussing the banning of a shady telecom tycoon convicted for 'cramming'. "The owner of three companies that billed more than $30 million in bogus collect call charges, an activity known as cramming, to millions of consumers throughout the country, has been banned forever from all billing on local telephone bills. Willoughby Farr agreed to the lifetime ban as part of a federal court order settling Federal Trade Commission charges that he directed a massive unauthorized billing scam for more than two and a half years. The settlement contains a monetary judgment of $34,547,140, which will be partially satisfied by Farr's transfer to the Commission of all but $7,500 of his frozen assets, the FTC said."

I'm not against drug use. I'm just against *illegal* drug use. I realize you are anon, thus wont see this, and dont care as there are high chances you are trolling anyways.

But why on earth would you prefer that the people who choose what is legal and what is illegal as a drug are racist government officials for the purpose of belittling an entire race, instead of doctors who know what they are talking about when it comes to the usefulness and effectiveness of a drug in the body?

One doesnt even need to argue the usefulness of any specific drug here.
If collectively the medical body decides drug A is useful, and drug B is harmful, then why do you refuse to listen to that, and instead put full trust and faith in someone who by definition does not know what he is talking about in relation to medical science?
