Alan Ralsky Gets A Not So Friendly Visit From The FBI

from the spam-spam-spam-spam dept

You may recall Alan Ralsky as the loud and proud spammer profiled a few years ago in a newspaper article. Following that, his home address was published on Slashdot, and the folks there signed him up for a ton of paper junk mail. Ralsky, apparently, did not see the irony. While he's claimed that he's reformed, it would appear that some folks at the FBI don't think so. They raided his house last month to get some more details about his "business" practices.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
