'Spam king' and cohorts plead guilty to fraud and other charges
"Alan Ralsky, whom federal prosecutors called one of the world's most notorious spammers, and four codefendants pleaded guilty on Monday in federal court in Detroit for their roles in an international spamming scheme that sent billions of illegal e-mail advertisements to pump up Chinese 'penny' stocks. The defendants then reaped profits by causing trades in these same stocks while others bought at the inflated prices, prosecutors alleged."
