FTC Files Spyware Case Against Sanford Wallace

Posted by michael on from the straight-and-narrow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Legendary reformed spammer Sanford Wallace is apparently back in business, under suspicion by the Feds for advertising a trojan spyware removal tool. Wallace 'admit[s] no wrongdoing', but in the next breath says 'The FTC is trying to enforce a law that hasn't even passed', referring to the proposed anti-spyware legislation currently in Congress."

    Actually, now thast I see he owes a lot of money to some Chinese businessmen, I have more hope that he'll "disappear." You don't mess with them.

    Sure I might not have told the truth, sure I might have suggested that the product did one thing, when in fact completely the opposite was true.

    And he is adopting the classic Rummy tactic of continuing to push his line despite over-whelming evidence that he is talking bollocks.

    If its good enough for the Defence Secretary, surely its only right that the average scam-erican should be able to claim the same.

    Equal rights to all, and remember, the Truth is not a constitutional right.
