Interesting piece of architecture

I'd never before heard of something that was a tunnel and a bridge at the same time.

It's fairly well known that spammers use "creative spelling", first in an attempt to get past simple word-based filters (e.g. "v1agra" and the like), later to get around Bayesian methods.

But I'm wondering what that does to boilerplate text that has to be included, presumably by law, such as in pump-and-dump scams or other securities stuff.

I just got spam that said in its last paragraph:

( The info in this letter may contain "forward 1ook1ng sttatmentts" ... )

I wonder whether that satisfies the demands of the law? Or must it really refer to "forward-looking statements" and not to "sttatmentts" or "statments"? And I doubt that there's any "sekkurities exxchange Act of Nineteeeen Thirrrty Four".
