NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- AOL is digging for gold in an effort to recover millions owed by a man it sued for sending out spam, searching for gold and platinum bars he is believed to have buried.

"This is just a case of a company working on behalf of its customers - going after a spammer's assets to the tune of $12.8 million," AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham said. "We have tried to contact the defendant... but to no avail. We have tried every legal avenue possible."

AOL won a $12.8 million judgment last year in U.S. District Court in Virginia against Davis Wolfgang Hawke after suing him for sending millions of unsolicited e-mails to its customers.

"We believe that it could be as much as half a million dollars or more in gold," he said. "We have receipts that have been submitted to the court indicating he purchased platinum and gold bars."

"This is not new," Graham said. "We've seized cars before, cash, gold coins and other assets including a boat, and even worked with the Virginia attorney general to put a lien on several houses."

Graham said he did not know when the digging would begin. Any money recovered, he said, would be used in AOL's spyware and spam protection programs.

That said, AOL is getting ready to pull out of the ISP business since they are pretty fucked in that department. They are going to try their hand at reclamation... and will manage to fuck that up as well.

Shows how effective it is to keep some assets out of the bank. If the money were in a bank, it would be gone by now.
