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."

    WTF? WHERE in the article did it say ANYTHING about being pulled over for speeding? This has nothing to do with traffic citations, this is about FRAUD, which has been covered by MANY laws for A LONG TIME. If you read TFA you would have noticed that FTC is charging him under EXISTING laws! The new proposed laws (if passed) will provide MORE "legal ammo".
