smooth wombat writes "An international spam ring with ties to Australia, New Zealand, China, India and the United States is in the process of being shut down. Finances of members in the United States are being frozen using the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 while the FBI is pursuing criminal charges. The group sent spam advertising male enhancement herbs and other items using a botnet composed of 35,000 computers able to send 10 billion emails per day.
How well was this ring doing? The F.T.C. (Federal Trade Commission) monitored the groups finances and found in one month alone, they had cleared $400,000 in VISA charges."
