Complete, utter, bullshit.

SPAM was around well before Canter & Siegel - in fact, C&S was
"true" SPAM (i.e. Simultaneous Posting Across Multiple newsgroups)
and not UCE/UBE.

The thing about C&S was their arrogant defence of it, and them
sueing their ISP for pulling their account.

Still, I expect they made more from the book than "assisting"
green card applicants.
