Clever SPAM - Update

Here is the scoop on this weirdo (from urbanlegends.about.com):
Update on Time Travel Spammer
Brian McWilliams of Wired News confirmed today that the sender of hundreds of millions of spam messages seeking information about a "dimensional warp generator" and other "time travel" equipment since 2001 is indeed Robert Todino, a Massachusetts-based spammer previously investigated by authorities for "misleading and deceptive" marketing practices. According to his own father, the 22-year-old has "psychological problems" (as some observers suspected all along), but Todino insists he is "perfectly mentally stable" and the technology he's so desperately trying to obtain "does exist," though his efforts have been hampered by a "conspiracy." Massachusetts authorities confirmed they are monitoring his online activities.
