Also, Blam is smart enough to know how to threaten people within the bounds of the law.
"Sure is a nice commenting account you got here. It'd be a shame if a BanHammer were to fall on it."
He is from NJ after all.

The best reading has been here and over at Engadget over the years.
GOOD TIMES, PEOPLE!

Part of the Italian Mafia. (Well, he has The Godfather on DVD)
He threatens to make cartoons of Best Buy employees.

You demanded:
Brian Lam, head of Gizmodo (the failed tech blog that couldn't even plagiarize the name of Gizmondo correctly), was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for robbery, attempted blackmail and making illegal threats (which threats are legal?).
Lam, whose story reaches Mark Sanford levels of ridiculous, is famous for crashing a rare Volkswagen, escaping at least one prison sentence, possibly having a movie made about him, leading some sort of mafia in the U.S.A in the 1990s and making a blog nobody ever wanted, ever. Referred to in his native English as "nerd Brian," because he's a nerd, Brian will serve 18 months in prison for his multitude of mafia and gadget-related crimes. Brian is a hilarious dirtbag the likes of which we rarely see in the tech world and he'll be missed, at least theoretically, maybe.
I <3 Brian Lam and Gizmodo.
