Alleged FL Spammers Agree To $1 Million Bonds

An anonymous reader writes "Well, in this story in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, two men were nailed by the FTC for sending out spam just to try to collect valid e-mail addresses and social security numbers, for resale to others. Another good reason just to simply forward the spam to uce@ftc.gov."

Spam pays, big time

[Joe Wagner]

One million dollars eh? Recall the Wired article this summer of the bigger penis spammer the nets a half million or more a month. A million dollar bond often costs 5 to 10% of the value. So, for a couple days profits, that spammer is back up and running with FTC approval. And this is how Congress expects the CAN SPAM act to stop the madness? Sigh...
