You may receive less spam now

With the arrest of one of the top 10 spammers in the world a decrease in spam is expected all over the world.

Soloway (the spammer) pleaded not guilty Wednesday afternoon to all charges after a judge determined that — even with four bank accounts seized by the government — he was sufficiently well off to pay for his own lawyer.

He has been living in a ritzy apartment and drives an expensive Mercedes convertible, said prosecutor Kathryn Warma. Prosecutors are seeking to have him forfeit $773,000 they say he made from his business, Newport Internet Marketing Corp.

$773,000 is not much money. I think he must have made much, much more with spamming. Here’s another interesting profile of a big Russian spammer I read a few months ago.
