Omg he actually looks ALOT like Hungryman!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

he looks like a big fat adult webmaster :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

he'll claim bankruptcy and find a good offshore lawyer through all of this and be back doing better than ever.

or he'll just move out of Canada. Never pay a dime.

i'm pretty sure he's from Canada.

I would like to see how they got him.:winkwink:

"Guerbuez owes $1,068,928,721.46. He’s also barred from opening a Facebook account." OOOO no let the poor guy have his facebook profile!!!!

I don't think fines can be discharged through a bankruptcy.

On his website the photos are kind of funny, his watch and clothes get nicer in the newer posts :1orglaugh

criminal fines to the crown are usually exempt - civil disputes are subject to bankrupsy

u still cant spell it??

anyway he must have made a SHIT LOAD.. a few million $$

Why does he call himself the 873 million dollar man?

in the us he would be jailed for hacking accounts. the spam, who cares, it was the phishing

“If there’s anything that does hit my e-mail box that I didn’t ask to receive, I’ll simply press the delete button,” he said in a statement posted on his website.

“That’s what it’s on the keyboard for.”

To me this reads as if the guy had 1 billion dollars BEFORE he filed bankruptcy ... which I doubt.

" The self-described online marketer says Facebook will have difficulty collecting the sum now that he has filed for bankruptcy. "

LMAO, like he had 1 billion dollars for them to collect anyways.

If he really wanted to be a prick he would make his methods open source and educate 1000s of people to do the same thing.


I was thinking the same thing.

"Fournier wrote that Guerbuez has earned “very significant revenues” from his online business. "

Who said spam doesn't pay off?

wearing black all the time sure makes him look thin.

what is there to educate?

1. steal thousands of usernames through fake facebook websites
2. ???
3. profit

"self-described online marketer" As if there is an independent body that gives you the title.

I guess the problem was HOW he did it.

"According to Facebook, Guerbuez fooled its users into providing him with their usernames and passwords. One method was the use of fake websites that posed as legitimate destinations.

After Guerbuez gained access to user’s personal profiles, he used computer programs to send out millions of messages promoting a variety of products, including marijuana and penis-enlargement products, Facebook said. "

Most Facebook users have the brains of a lettuce and just having a form on your site saying 'please put your Facebook login here' will be enough to collect their details.

he'd use links to facebook clones but in different languages

/facepalm

you'd figure someone who had gone through bankruptcy would at least be able to spell it afterwards... :1orglaugh

exactly, this is a straight up phishing scam. nevermind the spamming, e should have been charged for phishing account info.

It's not like the methods are a secret, and there are thousands of people doing similar things. Just sounds like this guy scaled things massively, and by phishing real live accounts took it top the next level.

He looks like the bastard love child of Hungryman and Pete KT lol

I love his blog with the food pictured.

How many of these do you think that obese piece of shit ate?

i like that chevaille restaurant in montreal

The jackass is from Montreal
Fuck him.
Soooooooooooooooooooo glade he got a stick in the ass.
I FUCKING HATE SPAM

I will sell you a diploma as an Online Marketer for 12.98$

I was thinking the same thing. It seems more criminal than civil.

I don't get the point of fining this guy a billion dollars. They should have based it in reality, then they might have had a chance to collect.


Did anyone catch the navigation links on the bottom of his site? "Previus Page" :1orglaugh

LOL 1 billion... now if you can just get facebook to spam YOU - well you might actually get the 1 billion outta em..

he's about as fat as spunky :thumbsup

lol, OMG his site

wow! $100 per spam email sent!
