AOL Wins Judgment Against Spammers
Mike Musgrove writes in The Washington Post:
America Online Inc. won a $13 million judgment yesterday against a prominent spam gang in its first case filed under a law allowing seizure of spammers' assets.
Following the ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, AOL said it does not know how much of the $13 million award it will be able to recover.
One spammer, Braden M. Bourneval, a 20-year-old chess champion from New Hampshire, cooperated with AOL in the investigation and agreed to surrender gold, cash and a 2003 Hummer H2 to the company.
The company has been unable to locate the other main spammer named in the suit, Davis Wolfgang Hawke, who has been associated with neo-Nazi groups.
