Infamous Michigan Spammer Indicted

AN INDICTMENT of notorious spam kingpin Alan Ralsky and ten alleged confederates was revealed yesterday by the US Attorney's office in Detroit, Michigan.
Ralsky, his son-in-law Scott Bradley, and nine others are accused of using spam to tout Chinese penny stocks in a pump and dump scam. The most serious charges of mail and wire fraud have maximum penalities of 20 years in prison and $250,000 fines. They are also charged with conspiracy, money laundering, and violating federal antispam laws.
In an interview published by the Detroit Free Press back in November of 2002, Ralsky was cheekily unapologetic in boasting about his massive, far-flung email spamming operations.
"I'll never quit. I like what I do. This is the greatest business in the world," Ralsky had said.
Now he might have several years in prison ahead of him to regret ever having said that.
