Who hated Tolstokozhev so much as to hire a hit man to assasinate him?
Well, I guess you have about one billion e-mail users to suspect.
Tolstokozhev was a famous spammer who sent millions of e-mail promoting
viagra, cialis, penis enlargement pills and other medications. Links in
these e-mails usually led to some pharmacy shop, which paid Tolstokozhev a
share of its revenue. This is a well known affiliate scheme employed by
spammers worldwide. Tolstokozhev is estimated to be responsible for up to
30% percent of all viagra and penis enlargement related spam.

Well, speaking of anti-spam
measures, that certainly works (not that I … um … condone … such
actions). A bit messy, in both physical and legal aspects, but still, quite
effective.

Then again, it may be a hoax:
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
