- i_love_music 6y agoThe whole story is bizarre, but that tidbit was just bonkers. How the hell did they convince a judge that it was ok to go wreck this poor woman's house/yard in hope is digging up some hidden precious metals that her son evidently buried there? I'm speechless.
- edm0nd 6y agoAOL used to go hard against spammers back in the day and during their peak years. 2005 fits into that for sure. This was during the time Time Warner was merged with them so they basically had huge team of lawyers and unlimited money bank roll to mess with people.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoBeing "that judge who wouldn't let them go after some nazi's ill gotten gains" is a great way to dead end your career if you're a Massachusetts judge. The Massachusetts judiciary is very politically minded. Other states are different.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoJust the mental image with AOL people digging for gold earned from spam just cracks me up.
