I can't decide what in this story is hardest to believe:
- That people would actually buy stuff via spam
- That lots of people would actually buy stuff via spam
- That lots of people would buy a penis enlargement product via spam
- That some guys would pay lots of money for large quantities of a penis enlargement product
- That the spam company would expose information about all of its customers to the entire internet
- That these customers would make credit card purchases on a spam-related site with no visible contact information using non-secure server
- That the guy running the "business" is a tournament-level chess player
- That the guy who mentored the spammer is a former neo-nazi who dropped out of the movement when it was revealed his father was a Jew
This is the kind of wacky plot you could weave into a wild novel. I think Larry Jonestowne needs to get on the case. All it needs is a statue of a predatory bird to pass around, a few dead bodies and a fat man.
