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 think its amusing how Slashdotters bellyache about how getting sued by the RIAA/MPAA and getting large fines is unconscionable and how the punishment is excessive, but when it comes to spammers they're calling for the death penalty and lose all sense of proportion.
