As far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with hating on people that do illegal shit. People like him ultimately make it harder for legit marketers like myself to profit, so fuck him.

Seriously.
Advice for Mr. Dale Begg-Smith 1) Return your Olympic Gold Medal. Your checkered past has tainted the Olympics and you don’t represent the high moral and ethical standards which the Olympics endorse.

What a fucking joke.

Harmful, illegal activity in one sector of an industry, or an exploitation of a certain medium brings new regulations for all people, that normally suck and make doing business harder. Take Craigslist. For my business I rely almost entirely on a direct sales force that I hire through Craigslist in the sales/biz section, and I've been doing that for about 2.5 years. Affiliate scammers OVERWHELMED the Craigslist sales/biz job postings with 'secret' jobs that would basically give you links to subscribe/buy something or whatever and CL hasn't really been able to stop it yet. Now that harmful, illegal activity makes it worse for me and all other potential employers who want to keep our recruiting costs down by using CL because a) increased flagging of posts and b) job searchers avoiding the sales/biz section when looking for work because they know that at least 50% of the 'job listings' are scams(at least in the free cities, esp. Detroit where I've been posting regularly for a couple of years).

And I think that pattern goes for a lot of things right? Gun regulations, etc. So I don't know, I'm not going to hate because he made money and I don't pretend to have morality, but I can still see why people get mad. Thanks to the poster who found that information.

lol, my point is that this mindset ends up effecting me when AM overwhelm CL, so I won't be mad if this guy gets exposed.:banana_sml:
 
Fuck, reading that crap wall of text in the link and then the geekville forum pissed me off. Bunch of whining ninnies like the Wafo crowd, who are too stupid to be able to differentiate between adware and spyware.

LoL at the demands that this guy sit down with the media and disclose all the details about his business... who the fuck would do that, with any business?

Idiots.
 
I read it a little of the drama on that other forum and it looks like he also didn't pay quite a few people money he owed them in his business adventures. But I suppose you all endorse that kind of stuff right?

I liked the guy at first to when I read the article but if you dig a little into what he did and made money on it's pretty obvious he broke the law quite a bit and didn't pay debts owed and that was even part of why he moved to AU, to run away from people he owned money in Canada. I don't dislike the guy because none of it's solid info but he did go from "my hero" when I first read the article to "just some guy" when I read a bit more.

I doubt you guys would be cheering on a network or advertiser that didn't pay huge sums of money and ran to another country with it instead.
 
While the 21-year-old Begg-Smith may not have been involved in doping or cheating on the slopes, the way he richly supported himself while training was incredibly unsportsmanlike and probably illegal: Begg-Smith was a key player in a company that infected other peoples' computers with adware a.k.a. spyware.

-From the spam kings article

If begg-smith actually got people to opt-in to his software then it's not spyware. This retard obviously don't know the difference but one is illegal and one is not. They'll never know what actually happened anyway probably.

haters gon hate
 
"that infected other peoples' computers with adware a.k.a. spyware."

AKA?

One serves ads, the other secretly spies on the user recording his actions. There's a huge fucking difference. They aren't even remotely related.

People that write this shit should be taken out back and shot for being so fucking stupid.
 
Hello friends,

I think he run adscpm and other network of spyware. People should respect him and no hate him.

Promote spyware no different then promote acai or work at home scam.

If person dumb enough let computer infect with spyware then deserve let other make money off just like if dumb enough fall acai scam deserve for be rebill.

Can actual say that spyware no as worse rebill. With rebill person lose money but with spyware no lose money.

Good luck bros
