The Google in the business of Advertising Scam

[Butterfly]

It seems that Google business model is to sell ads promoting illegal activities,

you think this is a joke, but apparently a settlement reached in 2009 where Google paid 500m to US authorities to settle the case was at the center of Google business model.

They are selling dodging ads and keep doing so,

Found this today on the WSJ, part of a sting operation to trap Google in their illegal activities. Apparently, even top management knows about all this. Sounds like Google is really no different than other online illegal businesses like megaupload.

The government's case also contained potentially embarrassing allegations that top Google executives, including co-founder Larry Page, were told about legal problems with the drug ads.

Mr. Page, now Google's chief executive, knew about the illicit conduct, said Mr. Neronha, the U.S. attorney for Rhode Island who led the multiagency federal task force that conducted the sting. "We simply know from the documents we reviewed and witnesses we interviewed that Larry Page knew what was going on," he said in an interview after the August settlement.

Mr. Neronha declined to detail the evidence, which was presented in secret to a federal grand jury. Other people familiar with the case said internal emails showed Sheryl Sandberg, a former top Google executive who left in 2008 for Facebook Inc., had raised concerns about the ads.

Prosecutors could have used that evidence to argue Google deliberately turned a blind eye to lawbreaking to protect a profit stream estimated by the government in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ms. Sandberg declined to comment through a spokesman. Mr. Page also declined to comment.
