Another Spammer Caught

Local hacker "Memehacker" IMed in with a scoop on Alan Ralsky, the famed "Spam King" covered by the Observer and the Detroit News. Here's the breaking story:

Valleywag: Tell me the scoop in three sentences.
Memehacker: Alan Ralsky is currently being held by the feds and his file is sealed for the next 72hrs by the DOJ. We are concerned that he is going to narq out the entire network since they have enough on him to send him to jail. This means hackers, spammers, anyone who has worked in spam legally or illegally for the last 5 years at least.
The DOJ wants to do a dragnet, they have the top dog, but they want the whole system as well.

If this is true, then that's one less spammer to worry about. And hopefully a
whole lot more to follow.

Where there is one, there is always another, we will never get them all.

There isn't as many spammers as you think. It's maybe 100 guys max that account for 99% of all spam.

Sorry but i don't beleive that, there is most probably more than 100. Although neither of us have proof, but to be honest i would think there is more than 100, a lot more.
