Ralsky routinely pumped out over 100 million e-mails daily. The FBI seized computers and financial records, effectively shutting him down.

Last year when 4 hurricanes hit Florida, the amount of spam traffic decreased significantly because the spam bastards were either evacuated or they lost power. Since I live in Florida, I'd rather see the pricks go to jail than risk losing everything I have. Me, me, me, everything's about me.

There was an article a while back about this guy who constantly bought from spam emails. He did get his stuff though. Whether or not they worked, he bought it.I always wondered that too. I mean who the heck would buy prescription drugs from an email that spells it wrong and in 133t speek with a fake news article posted after it? But the answer is out of the millions of people he spams, enough do.
