Spammer Bankrupted by Anti-Spammer Suits
www.sorehands.com writes "The well known spammer Scott ("Snotty Scotty") Richter has filed for bankruptcy protection. In a Denver Post article Richter claims to have less than $10 million in assets but more than $50 million in debts including the $49 million that Microsoft is seeking. Microsoft is not the only lawsuit that Richter is defending, as a law suit filed by anti-spammer Dan Balsam and being handled by anti-spam attorney Timothy Walton is still pending. Hopefully, Microsoft will have the automatic stay from the bankruptcy court dissolved so that they can stop Richter from spamming and gather more evidence."
I had this warm, fuzzy feeling all day. I now know why!
If you hear something, that's my head exploding.
My userid is prime!
Which way will this saga play out? Will it turn out that Spammer Boy is a hydra, and that his demise, like killing of the head of a drug cartel, will spawn a series of replacements who, in true criminal fashion would start killing each other but because they're spammers they'll annoy each other comparing the size of the IMMENSE ORGASMS ORDER TODAY?
Or will he be more like an evil Obi Won, and if you strike him down he will become more powerful than you can ever image thanks to FREE HERBAL VIAGRA JUST $39.99 A PILL?
Or will he suffer the True Death as the sunlight strikes him just as the stake enters his heart while his body collaspes into a pile of dust while he screams out MY NAME IS UBENTO FROM NIGERIA AND DURING THE US INVASION OF IRAQ I WAS GIVEN A MILLION DOLLARS THAT YOU CAN HELP ME EXPORT WITH A LOAN OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS?
Or will this post suffer the lameness filter from Slashdot? Only time will tell.

One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
does your penis feel bigger?
a combination of civil and criminal action
I can see it now. They seize his mailing lists to contact everyone to join the class action lawsuit. A spam promising free money thats actually true!
My name is Scott Richter, but you can call me Snotty Scotty. My company has come under attack from an evil empire and I was forced to flee for my life. I have $10 million in assets I wish to hide. If you let me sign over these assets to you I will be forever in your debt. I will glady split half of this sum with you once I have fled to the tropical paradise of Canada.
If you agree please send a registered letter with your name, address, e-mail address, social security number and bank routing number to:

Please hurry, they let me out to the exercise yard soon, and I feel my other assets will soon be raided.
Dear Scott Richter,
My name is Dr Ahmed Abdalla director and board member, Transparency International, Kenya. I got your email address from the web directory so I decided to contact you.
We are interested in diverting some funds currently floating in the suspense account of the federal pay office to your account as soon as possible.
Source of the funds are:
During the Arap Moi's government, government's officials awarded contracts to their own companies, these contracts were grossly over invoiced. Now the present government set up contract review panel to settle those owed outstanding amount. My colleagues and I have identified a huge amount totaling US$870m (Eight hundred and seventy million us dollars) overseas.
We would want US$43.8m (Forty three million Eight Hundred Thousand) dollars out this money oversea transferred to your account because we are not eligible to operate foreign account, and I have been mandated to search for a partner abroad. We really want this transfer made as soon as possible before the government, who have started refunding money from Moi's foreign accounts track this money. We will be offering 20% for your assistance. If you would want to proceed with this transaction please reply with your name and phone number and if you do not accept my offer please treat with utmost confidentiality.
Best Regards,
Dr Ahmed Abdall

It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
I find it easy.
Spammers are annoying as fuck, censor them.
Stupid shithead parents who buy GTA for their kids (or let their kids buy GTA unattended, or let their kids go thuggin with the neighborhood gang, or...) and then whine when their precious little Timmy does something illegal are annoying as fuck, censor them too.
Wait, what did this have to do with censoring GTA?
You, good sir, don't have the vaguest fucking idea what you're talking about.

We need to help the poor guy out. He obviously cannot afford to pay regular prices for anything any more. I think we need to send him some catalogues so he can purchase items from the discount companies... Lots of catalogues.

Dear Sir,
I am a consultant operating in West Africa named Scott Richter. I am being persued by evil slashdotters who do not like my wonderful products and messages. For this reason I cannot move money in my name through normal banking channels. I think the only way to succeed is to seek help from a foreigner....

Yeah but, with all of his Spamming connections, I'm pretty sure he will be able to find a few Nigerian relatives that have enough money to cover any lawsuit.
There's an important difference between being rude (inappropriatey familiar) and being insulting. There's no excuse for being rude, even while being insulting. ;)
