Who is Alan Ralsky and why do I care?
Alan Ralsky is the Michael Jordan of the Spam world, in that he is prolific and very influential in the community.
Alan has made public appearances in a variety of media sources, including the Detroit Times, which makes him stand out from the seedy Spammer crowd. Not to defame him, but just to illustrate the defiance he wages, it is not unlike a child molester wearing a T-Shirt declaring himself such, as was the case a few years ago with the guy who declared himself over the net. And while it is appreciated and frankly both should be branded it nonetheless leaves little one can do about it when the crimes are veiled.
According to the Detroit Times, Ralsky pled guilty to various charges relating to Spam and agreed to testify against other Spammers in an effort to truncate his own sentence, which is why his name has come back to the forefront of mainstream media.
For years there has been an ongoing Federal investigation into the crimes of Spammers, including Ralsky, and U.S. Attorney Terrance Berg seems to consider this recent coup to be the modern day Al Capone case in that they always get their man!
