INTRODUCTION
In 2003, Alan Ralsky... an entrepreneur made himself a small fortune by collecting people's information online, then selling that information to other business that would send out spam email.
- When The Detroit News ran a story on Ralsky's business.... And his 8,000sq ft home. Lavish lifestyle... People became angry, and sought revenge.
- Someone found his home address.... And gave it to everyone they knew....
- Signed him up for junk mail (Credit cards, catalogs, advertising campaign, etc...)
- The result? Ralsky began receiving over 200lbs per day of junk mail. Revenge can be sweet.
Sometimes revenge isn't so funny, though.

- Dante eventually escapes prison... Finds the treasure. And reestablishes himself as a wealthy and powerful person.
- He uses this new identity and resources to seek vengeance.
''I regret now,'' said [the priest], ''having helped you in your late inquiries, or having given you the information I did.''

- Winston Churchill - ''Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance,''
