According to the Detroit News, sometime in September 2005, the FBI raided the home of self-proclaimed spam king Alan Ralsky, siezing his computer equipment and effectively ceasing operations of his company. The story - found at http://www.detnews.com/2005/technology/0510/16/B01-349738.htm - was released in October, when the FBI unsealed the warrant.

Mr. Ralsky has stated that, while he is out of business, he leaves the implication that he may return.

Nobody at this time has come to trial.
