Russian Anti-Spam Advisor Accused of Spamming
Keith noted that Krebs has an interesting story on a Russian businessman being accused of running a spam ring while serving as an anti-spam adviser to the Russian government. It's a strange tale including an investigation in 2007 that was abandoned when the chief investigator was actually hired to work for the spammer. Not suspicious at all, no way.
CEO of ChronoPay, the ultra shady payment "processor" that functioned more like an account hijacker. Looking to partner with Paypal for Russian transactions as well as online Sino-Russian transactions.
If you used the illegitimate MP3 site allofmp3.com you may want to investigate whether or not your transaction went through Chronopay as they might have retained a copy of your records *cough* *cough*. Krebs outed this guy in the first report and Vrublevsky tried to play it off like someone higher was trying to drag his name through the mud for political reasons. I don't need anymore accusations: Vrublevsky's a crook.
My work here is dung.
In Soviet Russia, anti-spam advisor spams you!
...they managed to find someone that actually knows what he is talking about. I mean, if you want a spam expert, how can you beat a successful spammer?

See, here's the difference: In America, the government guys are a bunch of crooks. In Russia, the crooks are a bunch of government guys.
