Christopher Smith embodies a favorite media fantasy: “Boy-Hacker-Scofflaw Gets Rich, Apes Liberace.” Authorities claim Chris made his mark spamming pharmaceutical sales.
Ole Chris wallowed in the trappings of success, slathering on an upscale address, along with Lamborghini and a heapin’ helpin’ of Honest-to-Gosh fireworks… till Judgement Day.
On the flip side, accused phisher Jayson Harris’s crib (shown above) is apparently an anonymous one-story… not even in his own name. Nary a Lamborghini to be seen.
Nevertheless, the Law says Jayson’s worth 75 counts, thanks to his MSN-lookalike designed to entice the stupid and/or naive to fork over credit cards. (Apparently, Jayson figured Microsoft wouldn’t notice.)
Chris might wink and tell you the ride was worth the price of the ticket. Jayson may beg to differ.
Considering a black hat career? Despite the hype, Jayson is far more typical than Chris, and both got caught.
We hear food in the pokey’s not too bad, but the sleeping arrangements can be… challenging.

Makes me miss the days when these Beevis and Butthead types were happy blowing up frogs with firecrackers.

sorry said sadly
Jayson Harris is a retard ok. He would have gambled all the money away plus he sucks at poker. His girlfriend brittney is f****d up in the head too.
