Investigators estimate his success rate at around 0.1%. That's 13,500 victims from whom he's stolen as much as $40.5 million. Oh, the title is pure guesswork.

Investigators estimate his success rate at around 0.1%. That's 13,500 victims from whom he's stolen as much as $40.5 million. Oh, the title is pure guesswork. That big, big number is essentially pulled out of thin air. I'd say more out of a thin butt. According to these figures he on average extracted $3000 USD out of 30 people, every day. If making $90k in profit per day is really as easy as sending out 13.5 million e-mails then I think I should seriously reconsider my business plan...
