King of Spam Interview

This guy sends out 2 billion emails a month. It’s all spam and he’s responsible for it. Read his interview. From his home office, where a dozen rack-mounted computer servers hum 24 hours a day, Scelson — in customary T-shirt and shorts — sends millions of e-mails to 50 or so computer servers in the USA, China, South America and Europe. It costs $20,000 a month to pump out e-mail hawking everything from insurance to toys to lingerie.
