It's a long read, but worth while. How one of the most notorious alleged hustlers in the history of e-commerce made a fortune on the Web.

His story is a 101 primer on how to make loads of money while being a terrible human being.

Wow. This guy is an amazing dick. I don't see it so much as genius as just a shitload of persistence and hard work along with a complete lack of morality. Too bad he can't take that dedication and work ethic and do something with it that doesn't victimize people.

Still, it's hard to feel sorry for people that fall victim to his shit. Adblock Pro and a little bit of common sense is all it should take to steer clear of his shenanigans. I'd probably be singing a different tune if it was my own hypothetically internet-naiive mother or grandmother, though.

BTW, I'm going to ask Mrs. Jibba to call me "Horatio Hugemember" from now on.

Too bad it wasn't my idea.
