I don't know about "well known" .. he did have an AVS, yes. Some of the stuff was obviously vaporware, some of it wasn't.

He claimed he made $50,000 per month from mailers/newsgroup spam, $40,000 per month or something from the AVS, was a millionaire, etc. He's a Usenet administrator, so when they catch one of his newsgroup spamming servers, he "shuts it down," then vouches for a new one. I don't know if any of it was true ... it's hard to really tell. A lot of people have told me conflicting stories about stuff he's said ... but who knows?

When Vonage IPO'd, he applied for 5,000 shares, then stiffed them on it ... I know they were planning to sue him over it.
