Required reading check this article out.

Basically spammer x works 10 hours a day, makes bank then realizes his mistakes.(after making bank)

. Decides he needs a life.
Funny quote though
"Response rates to spam tend to be a fraction of 1 percent. But Ed said he once got a 30 percent response rate for a campaign. The product? A niche type of adult entertainment: photos of fully clothed women popping balloons"
"He sent spam to recovering gambling addicts enticing them to gambling Web sites. He used e-mail addresses of people known to have bought antianxiety medication or antidepressants and targeted them with pharmaceutical spam"
Talk about spinning marketing.

I believe I read this and he says he made $10,000/week. Doesn't that seem pretty low for a big time spammer? Especially if he wasn't using opt-in and such.
