News You Can Bruise for 2002 May 27

A crawler crawled my site and spammed many addresses (including, humorously, qpoeta@roma.antiqua.it) with a spam scam, but Kris was the first to claim it:

• Organization/Country: Angola/Angolan government-owned diamond company
• Amount: $12,000,000
• Kris' Cut: Not specified
• Proposed Crime: Fraud

And one more old-school from Kevan Davis: he says he was "actually disappointed at how piffling $15 million seemed".

• Organization/Country: Nigeria/Wife of former (and late) Nigerian government official
• Amount: $15,000,000
• Kevan's Cut: 20% ($3,000,000)
• Proposed Crime: Just plain money laundering
