    E-Mail Spamming Pays Good Until You Get Caught and Sued

    Leading Spammer to Pay $1 Million

    One of the worlds notorious spammers has settled lawsuits with
    the state of Texas and Microsft Corp. that cost him at least
    $1 million, took away most of his assets and forced him to stop
    sending the nuisance e-mails.

    Ryan Pitylak, 24, who graduated from the University of Texas last month,
    has admitted sending 25 million e-mails everyday at the height of his
    spamming operation in 2004. As part of the settlement with Microsoft,
    Pitylak promised never again to send out false, misleading or unsolicited commercial e-mails. He said he would sell his $430,000 house and a 2005 BMW to help pay his fines and legal bills.

    Should happen more often and I'm surprised there was no mention of any criminal charges.

        Microsoft? What did he do, hack hotmail or msn accounts or something? Or was he one of those retards purporting to be microsoft support to phish for emails? Either way: retarded.

                    No elaboration needed, your previous post speaks by itself.

                              If he was spamming heavy enough to get hit with this fine he was making waaaay more than $1million.

                                        exactley. and out of those 10 others, 9 are probably based in locations out of reach of the US law.
