Read an article in Time/Newsweek a few years ago about a "preacher" who ended up doing time after getting involved in this scam. the nigerians got away scot free because guess what - no-one knows who they are? This guy was letting them launder money thru his account for a cut off the top. the funniest thing about this was that they were still e-mailing him in jail telling him how they understood his situation and how sympathetic they were but that he had'nt quite finished the job and would he please (Please???) complete the transactions as they were getting desperate/hungry/broke whatever?!!!! what an idiot.
