From Artist To Spam-Hunter
I am Kobayashi writes "Wired has a story about Andy Markley, a graphic artists, whose business domain name was spoofed by infamous spammer Eddy Marin and used to spam thousands of people. After the incident recurred at a new ISP, and at the risk of his business and sanity, Markley fought back. He tracked down Marin through several spoofed email addresses and several hi-jacked servers, and eventually was successful in getting Marin's current ISP to shut down his account. Too bad he was a graphic artist and not a professional bounty hunter...."
Here we see the Spammer in his native environment, lets pull his network connection and see if we can get him rialed up. Crikey, look at em dial tech support!

Qualified candidates must be professional bounty hunters with verifiable experience and verifiable references.
Yes, my name is Boba Fett and I worked for a Hut called Jabba -- this was a long time ago and in a remote galaxy. During my tenure with Jabba, I successfully tracked and captured Han Solo, wanted for failure to pay back a sizable loan.
I'm fully familiar with the use of various weaponry, grappling hooks, and personal rocket packs. I have also done consulting work for Mr. Vader, a well known businessman who spearheaded the creation of a large spherical space station.

Maybe not, but I've seen spam from monks selling laser toner.
Seriously, someone should tell the monks that spamming is not good.
