Nice work but hopefully they can not only convict him but give him an appropriate punishment. Its amazing how just a few individuals can send so much percentage of the world's spam.

It is good news, but I bet there are 1000's of spammers waiting to take his place... but then thinking about it, getting one, and a high profile on at that has got to be good for the cause :)

After reading the article it doesn't sound like he's as "high profile" as they make him out to be... more like he pissed off the wrong people.

One down, how many more to go. I'm afraid it won't stop unless it stops being profitable, and that's hardly ever going to happen when you have people in countries where the average wage is about 30 times smaller than in Western Countries, so can live off a few dollars a day, meaning spending all their time spamming vbulletin forums with affilate links pays for their food. It's good we've got rid of one rich spammer, but even if all the large scale ones are caught, we're still going to be left with loads from the third world adding links for viagra and herbal viagra for cats on our forums...
