Jailed Spam King Caught Conspiring to Kill Witness

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spam-mafioso dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Spam king Christopher William Smith, aka Rizler, is facing up to life in prison for conspiracy to tamper with a witness and up to 20 years for endeavoring to obstruct justice. The charges are based on an alleged phone call in which he threatened to have a witness or the witness' family killed to prevent them from testifying against him in an upcoming trial on drug and related charges.

    Has anyone of you installed blue frog from bluesecurity? It takes the vigilante approach of "flodding the spammer's website". Any reviews?

    Hmm. An e-mail spammer demonstrates that he is a lowlife scumbag who deserves to be killed.
    Why is this considered news?

    This is news because he is the Spam KING. He is not just any spammer but a KING. Don't you know how royalty attracts the media like flies???
