Raphael Gray, a 19-year-old from Clynderwen in West Wales, called himself the "Saint of E-Commerce", and said he was on a mission to highlight security dangers on the Internet. The only problem was that to do this, he cracked thousands of computer networks and gained access to more than 23,000 credit card numbers.

He posted thousands of the numbers on the Web, leading to roughly $2.8 million in fraudulent credit card charges and causing two companies to close down.

His best-known stunt, however, was to use Bill Gates' own credit card number to mail-order the Microsoft chairman a large shipment of Viagra.

ROFL

We'll be laughing out of the other side of our mouths if Gates offers the guy a great-paying job.

True , but I did find it funny.

Oh, it was extremely funny, @Weasel. Don't get me wrong.

By the way, I was a COMDEX in Vegas about six years ago when Gates was supposed to the lead speaker. He put up all the Microsoft clones on his team at Sigfried and Roy's, where a pair of my friends work. Gates himself got, free, the president's suite, the best one in the hotel.

Word came down quickly through the staff grapevine. He stiffed the bellboy who delivered all his luggage to his room, including a ton of high-techie equipment.

well fable, ole billy boy didn't get rich by spending his money!
