At millions per week, that would make him just slightly less effective than a 12 year old Chinese skiddie. Given that there are 604800 seconds in a week, even 100M emails is just over 150/s. Not much of an ROI for "custom hardware and software".
- alsocasey 15y agoWhen I read custom hardware within the same line as 18 year old I assumed it should be read as "assembled his own PC".
- redthrowaway 15y agoThe same guy saying that, however, is now co-founder of FaceCash. You'd think he would know better.
- pyre 15y agoI don't think that was a direct quote.
