Stock Spam Works - Ralsky Case

I covered stock spam a couple of times before in this blog. A few days ago, Alan Ralsky (one of the biggest spammers on Earth) was arrested and indicted to be involved in stock spam. The full indictment is available at the website of Spamhaus (Ralsky Indictment) and it is an interesting read. The article uncovers Ralsky's spam approach and discloses how he and his group made a lot of money with advertizing of stocks via spam e-mails. It seems like stock spam works.
