The real dot con

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.
