Scumbag Gaming Google Gets Busted

Remember that story we posted last week about Google changing its search algorithm due to a scumbag scammer gaming the system? Well, the feds swooped in today and busted the guy.

Vitaly Borker, 34, was arrested at his home in Brooklyn, New York, and charged with fraud, cyberstalking and harassment, the U.S. Department of Justice said. He faces up to 20 years in prison. According to the complaint against him and a profile that appeared in The New York Times last month, Borker made abusive customer service his signature style. Prosecutors say he shipped counterfeit or defective products and threatened customers with violence if they complained.
