One of the top spammers in the world caught:

I really think that the Feds should focus their attention to more important matters than spam, but good job anyway.

 

I doubt it. There's gotta be a thousand guys just like him waiting to take his place. This guy's absence is gonna leave a hole just like the one left when you pull your finger out of a bucket of water.

 

I guess you don't realize how big of an issue spam is.
We're talking about possibly billions of dollars of wasted money.

- Bandwidth costs
- Support costs
- Processing (cpu cycles) cost

Not to mention a lot of spammers control bot nets (not an illogical guess to make).

However -- I kind of liked spam. A fool and his money are soon parted.

 

This guy is small potatoes. Arresting 1 US-based spammer will not decrease the amount of spam in anyone's mailbox. If you want to decrease the amout of spam, start arresting Russian mobsters. Seriouisly.
