I'm puzzled. I have been referring to a quite old article that doesn't mention anything about FBI anymore. Unless I'm heaving early Alzheimer, I can swear reading at multiple spots that Nathan Blecharczyk was once on 100 FBI top wanted. I'm confused by this, however I guess the minimum I can do is not mention that "fact" anymore.



From the article that was linked in a few posts up: He was running a major spam operation, and he got into a list of known spammers arranged by SpamHaus (an anti spam organization). The list happens to have about 100 people.

It's said that he received a few letters from the FBI and other law enforcements while he was running the operations. Nothing specific.


Thank you. I'm still puzzled why would PG want to do business with someone like that, other than pure greed.
