There are reports that spammer Alan Ralsky and his son-in-law Scott Bradley have been arrested by the FBI. Matthew Sullivan of SORBS is credited with providing information leading to the arrest. Having endured a quantity of Ralsky's spam over the years, I'm not exactly shedding tears over this news. I just hope that he doesn't mind giving up his famous 8,000 sq ft home for something a little smaller. And if he ends up sharing his new living quarters with the proverbial three-hundred-pound con named 'Bubba', well, I guess that's payback.

03.05.2005: CORRECTION - Valleywag, the source for the Ralsky story, has now run a retraction. It seems like the Spam King is not under arrest after all. Please reactivate your filters.
