Well, my dad sure doesn't spoil me, so i doubt i'll see any of the money. But as far as what we actually get, it'll be in the millions. Those three companies don't actually have a billion dollars, so we probably won't ever get that, but we will get what they do have, which (like i said) is supposed to be millions. I don't know anything else about the actual 'winnings' besides that.

How are you garanteed any money? Those companies have no records, no phone numbers, and they arent in the BBB.

It's a little tricky, i suppose, but they've got it figured out more or less i guess. The one from Arizona, they actually have identified the person responsible for that. He and his 'wife' (there are documents claiming they're married and other documents claiming they aren't, and they use different names and stuff, it's a very tricky business they've got down there) have been identified, and my dad has even looked at the property he owns in Tempe. I mean it's in Arizona and all, but it's pretty rad anyway. :rad:

Don't know about the guys in Florida, but i imagine they know who they are too.

Congrats. Dont spend it all in one place :laugh:

I wouldnt even know what to do with a billion dollars. I would end up probably giving most of it away. I know im odd. Im happy with my BSOD 98 and my Tweaked XP.

[lav-chan]

This got posted to Fark, but they said it was a Davenport ISP, which is wrong. I can't correct them, though, because they make me wait 24 hours. That's so lame. :/

[conna]

As I learned when I received my inheritance, GET A LAWYER.. There will be alot of scammers who claim to be your friends with sick dogs and grandmothers and such but look at who was your friend BEFORE this happened and rely on them only. People are snakes and will try anything they can to suck money from you. Trust me I've been through it in the past 6 months, when I got my 8 million.

He's right! People are always out to get your money so you should have a proper defence. I can provide you with legal services, so just PM me and we'll work something out! :shifty:

read the article closely....

Kramer's attorney, Kelly Wallace, said he is unlikely to ever collect the judgment, which was made possible by an Iowa law that allows plaintiffs to claim damages of $10 per spam message. The judgments were then tripled under RICO.

"We hope to recover at least his costs," Wallace said.

Now donate all that money to help organizations, and your father will be a hero (Y)
