Federal Agents pounced on the offices of one of the world's biggest suspected spammers Tuesday, seizing dozens of high powered computers and other potential evidence that could lead to criminal charges, say two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The all-day raid targeted Omni Point Marketing of Boca Raton, Fla. The search, which had been delayed by hurricanes in Florida

Talking to my buddy on the phone, they were very high profile with their maserati's, ferrari's and 7 series.

Cops all day outside his buiilding where they are colocated.
