Microsoft and New York are suing some spammers. Among them is Scott Richter, who was a panelist at the FTC Spam Forum last spring. Richter tried to put on the face of an honest email marketer. Now we see that he allegedly used all the fraudulent tactics that spammers use.
[Microsoft's General Counsel Brad Smith] went on to say that these cases would prove that the defendants in this case used "intentional, deceptive" methods and abused some "514 compromised computers including innocent schools, hospitals and government ministries in the U.S. and abroad."
Scott's bio [PDF] is available from the FTC website.
Scott, they're going to take away everything you own.
