Hilarious spam today, though I know that there will be at least one sucker out there who will fall for it. Oliver Kabila, the supposed brother of the ex-president of the Congo needs to move 48 million bucks into a US account. The offer is to set the email recipient up as a contractor in order to wire the funds, in exchange for 20% of the total (9.6 million bucks). All you have to do is agree and give him access to your bank account... Gee, that sounds like such a good deal. And of course there's no risk "considering our position in the government". 20 minutes later I got exactly the same email from Bulala Kabila, who I guess must be another brother.

In other money matters, Anna Nicole Smith; 33 year old former Playboy model is awarded a half billion dollars seeing that she is a legitimate widow of J. Howard Marshall II who died 6 years ago at age 90 (which would have made her 27 at the time). You can call this girl what you want but I call her smart. Used a great body to be set up for life while still young enough to enjoy it. And did it all legally. As for him, lucky bastard....
