Revolting even to Internet scammers

An Internet diploma mill of the type one encounters 30 times a day without a good spam blocker also has connections to child pornography.

Feds busted Kevin Pearson for having thousands of images of child porn on his computer in the course of investigating the Spokane man’s role in a scam that printed phony diplomas for people like your loser cousin.

Pearson was indicted this week. It is not clear if the seven other people implicated in the diploma mill case were involved with child porn at all, but “12.5 percent of Internet scammers moonlight as child pornographers” doesn’t sound unreasonable.
