AOL Wins Judgment Against Spammer
An AP newswire article by Matthew Barakat, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:
A man who sent billions of junk e-mails hawking on-line college degrees, sexually explicit websites and "generic Viagra" must pay more than $5-million in penalties to America On-line, a federal judge ruled.
Christopher William Smith, of Prior Lake, Minn., was considered one of the world's worst spammers, operating under the name Rizler. He is now in jail in Minnesota awaiting trial on criminal charges that he violated federal drug laws while operating an on-line pharmacy.
