That story was incredible. What kind of revenue do you think all that spam generated? Obviously some idiots were taken in; especially by the herbal medicine scam. That immediately reminded me of Mark Hughes and Herbalife; and those 2 hour infomercials in the middle of the night. Do you remember that guy? Started in the trunk of his car, became a billionaire, and then died in his early 40's from being a drunk.

I imagine the internet spam industry is in the many hundreds of millions or maybe even billions of dollars world wide. Scary, but very real.
