Ruusia's Biggest Spammer murdered
 

Looks like life in .ru is a little tougher than in the US.

"Vardan Kushnir, notorious for sending spam to each and every citizen of Russia who appeared to have an e-mail, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Sunday, Interfax reported Monday. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head."

:thumbsup :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Maybe I'll stop getting these spams in Russian I can't even read!

damn man , now thats harsh

I didn't think Russian spammers spammed Russians. Oh well, RIP Vardan.

That's a pretty heafty price to pay!

Owned :Oh crap

cahek...?

Russians don't fuck around.

I hate spammers!!

as juicy sneaks over and locks his apartment door

They don't fuck around over there he was probably connected to the mob

whew i thought you were talking about someone else..

Kill a spammer today!

In Russia, everyone with money is connected to the mob. If not for anything else, then at least by paying for protection.

talk about taking a proactive stand against spam.

:1orglaugh

OMG...that's pretty scary

Soon as I read this, I thought maybee he didnt pay his protection :2 cents:

I don't think that "someone else" is the biggest...although, he may be the best ;)

Yeah, murder is pretty hilarious you ignorant fool. Spammers are criminals and should be treated as such, being beaten to death is hardly considered a fair/humane/just punishment. No one has ever been physically harmed by getting junk mail.

Take your laughing smileys and shove 'em you know where.

Exactly. Never have. I love 'em. :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

that's crazy :Oh crap

Damm that sucks poor guy was just trying to make a living

That kill the American contest is pretty disturbing.

says who?

spam is not illegal in Russia

Fair enough, this only stregnthens my point. I was of course speaking in terms of North American law. My point being is that cold blooded murder is no laughing matter.

If drugs won't kill ya, spamming russians will

I totally agree with you on this one, also there's no way for us to know why was the guy killed, for all I know he could've been killed by a jelaous husband

pretty harsh just for spammin

:1orglaugh

what "kill the American" contest?

pretty harsh for sending emails
:helpme

They don't mess around. You better honour that remove request!

he didnt deserve to die for sending spam

I doubt it was for spam

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
NOT

He was probably running some russian mafia operation or stuff like that ...

I suppose people would be more inclined to agree with you if it were not for some of the underhanded insideous shit that SOME spammers employ in their emails.

Sending the same shit 10 times a day to 100 million people
fake bogus paypal scam shit
fake bogus ebay scam shit
nasty install .exe shit in attachments
tricky "mailer daemon -- see attachment" bullshit
no honest "remove me" link, or the remove link is used to confirm recipients

And a 100 other bullshit tactics that piss people off. If you're going to piss that many people off you run the risk that a few of them are going to be psycho enough to come and find you and kick your fucking head in.

Don't like it? Don't spam.


Am I condoning murder? No. I'm saying you take the risk, you get what you get.

Especially in Russia.

What ? i missed a part. I guess I gotta read the whole article


I don't know why everybody assumes he died because he spammed... there could be 10000x other reasons ...

There's no doubt in my mind the guy rolled with some shady cats.

How many joins a month did he send Python? ;-)

:banana :1orglaugh
:banana :thumbsup
:banana :banana
:hitit :action-sm

The guy ran 'Centre for American English' and on that link/page it shows a picture from a contest titled - 'Kill the American English Centre' - I guess it's something Russian organized.. spreading the hate for the guy/centre.

coincidence. he was prob killed for fucking someones woman.

Does this mean we'll get spammed in heaven (or hell) too ?

Didn't know you pay such high toll in Russia

Fitty Dead Spammers .............
