    Wow, that is pretty insane. I didn't see any details about this being on Adwords/Adsense. I'm guessing that the networks that are most popular and well monitored would more often catch this type of behavior. Not to say that click fraud doesn't occur, because it does. I just think it is on a far smaller scale.

    DormRing1 should be renamed to DormRingL , L for Lost! haha Interesting, it would have been a better story, if they got paid out the millions of dollars, purchased fast cars and big houses then forced to liquidate and be sentanced to 20 years of hard labor LOL

    Didn't hear this once in the media. Guess they are hard at work again? Let's not also forget that $3 million is essentially chump change when the government is indiscriminately printing trillions.
