Russian Police Claim Biggest Spammer’s Murder Solved

Via MosNews.

Vardan Kushnir, murdered in late July in Moscow, may have fallen victim to a 15-year-old girl and her three friends, a popular Moscow tabloid, Moskovsky Komsomolets, reported Monday.

Vardan Kushnir, notorious for sending spam to each and every citizen of Russia who appeared to have an e-mail, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on July 27. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head.

Kushnir, 35, headed the English learning centers the Center for American English, the New York English Center and the Center for Spoken English, all known to have aggressive Internet advertising policies in which millions of e-mails were sent every day.

In the past angry Internet users have targeted the American English center by publishing the Center’s telephone numbers anywhere on the Web to provoke telephone calls. The Center’s telephone was advertised as a contact number for cheap sex services, or bargain real estate sales.
