The story claims that 19 year old New Hampshire chessplayer Braden Bournival
is making a lot of money sending out spam emails and selling penis
enlargement pills. It also claims that he is associated with a Rhode Island
man named Davis Wolfgang Hawke, who is described as a "chess champion" and
"the founder and leader of neo-Nazi group called the Knights of Freedom."

I will quote the first part of the story; use the link to read the rest.

begin excerpt

At the New Hampshire Open chess tournament at the Radisson Hotel in
Merrimack recently, some 80 contestants convened from all over New England.

Most of them have heard of Braden Bournival.

Ask tournament organizer Bob Messenger to tick off the names of the best
Granite State chess players in the tournament.

He puts the 19-year-old Bournival near the top of the list.

"I would say . the defending champion is Joe Fang .the other ones would be
Hal Terrie, Brad Bournival, and Kevin Cotreau."

But ask what he knows about Bournival's company, Amazing Internet Products,
and Messenger has no comment.

"I can talk about the tournament. I just won't talk about him ."

Fact is, Bournival's reputation in chess is a lot more palatable than his
reputation in business. He's one of the world's biggest purveyors of junk
e-mail that advertises penis enlargement pills.

Each week, his company Amazing Internet Products in Manchester is
responsible for blasting hundreds of thousands of unsolicited emails, or
spam, to Internet users all over the world.
