rconner Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 See Yahoo! news. Not directly relevant to spam, but pretty close. The federal government has more than 400,000 pages of evidence against fugitive Miami doctor Armando Angulo, taking up some two terabytes of digital space. (...) But at the urging of prosecutors, charges were dropped against the doctor because the evidence is simply taking up too much space on government servers. -- rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 We had a high profile multi-million dollar fraud case dismissed because prosecutors didn't want to sift through ten thousand pages of evidence. So the newspaper suggested the best get-out-of-jail-free-card for criminals was make it so your case is so complex, they won't prosecute you :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farelf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Pathetic. Julian Assange didn't leak enough then? I'm sure he'll rectify that if he ever gets out of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
