Another Major Spammer Busted

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the innocent-until-proven-annoying dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "25 year old Christopher William Smith, considered one of the worlds biggest spammers by the Spamhaus Project, is now sitting in a jail without bond. Smith allegedly had a doctor issue 72,000 prescriptions in the space of one year in conjunction with orders obtained through spamming. The doctor, Philip Mach, had a license to practice medicine in New Jersey but he provided prescriptions to people throughout the United States without ever evaluating them, both of which are big no-no's. Federal authorities have already seized over $3 million in cash, luxury cars, and houses."

    I'd rather see him rot in hell.

    I hate spammers.

    As if print ads weren't bad enough in your mailbox.

    2500/day and counting *sigh*.
