Spammer Profile

As spammer Christopher Williams Smith is going through various criminal cases filed against him by a variety of different law enforcement bodies (bragging about not filing taxes never seems to work out, does it?), the Twin Cities Pioneer Press has an article up about him.
It generally covers the items he has been in the news over lately, specifically those things ending him in jail like tax evasion, sending out spam, using a stun gun on his employees, and selling prescription drugs online among other things.
From the article:

Prosecutors say Smith's attempts to thwart the investigation escalated to a murderous plot in March when he allegedly tried to put out a hit on a witness while awaiting trial in the Sherburne County jail. Smith now faces a separate charge of witness tampering, but prosecutors want to play the recorded jailhouse conversation during the conspiracy trial.

You just can't make up stuff like that. Giving employees drugs, using a stun gun on them, hiring a hit man, etc - sounds like this guy needs his own TV show.
