Asterisk on pop-up mogul’s gold: An Australian gold medalist is also a reported spyware mogul.
While the 21-year-old Begg-Smith may not have been involved in doping or cheating on the slopes, the way he richly supported himself while training was incredibly unsportsmanlike and probably illegal: Begg-Smith was a key player in a company that infected other peoples’ computers with adware a.k.a. spyware.

It should read, a Canadian who became an Australian citizen five years ago won a gold medal is also a reported spyware mogul
We really don’t want him. He can take his pop-ups, spam and spyware elsewhere.
Too late. No returns accepted.
