He apparently jumped in a car with his wife, changed clothes at home, and hasn't been seen since." Update: 07/24 22:20 GMT by T : It seems that Davidson has been found, victim of a murder-suicide which also left two others dead.

Spam

Quick! Lets send this article as an email to a Billion people!

Will they really find him all that easily?

I find it hard to believe that the "spam king" didn't amass a small fortune through all of his illicit dealings, I mean with the sheer amount of spam he created, how can they know how much money he's really made?
What's more, as far as "criminals" go, he's pretty low on the register of importance. Really, all he did was annoy the fuck out of everyone, not like he killed anyone or anything like that.
Hell, identity thieves have done more damage than he has - and for less money.
I guess what I'm trying to say is he's probably got the means to safely disappear under the RADAR and live in a hot country with a big house for the rest of his life.

Stupid

Hanging out in club Fed for a couple years for sending spam is easy. Being an escaped fugitive isn't, and if they catch him again, he'll probably get a larger sentence for escaping than for spamming, and be sent to a medium or high security prison.
