Scott Richter, a high volume email deployer aka spamming scum files for bankruptcy

Up yours, spammer scum.

Scott Richter, the biggest active spammer on the Internet, has filed for bankruptcy. He’s being bankrupted by a lawsuit filed by Microsoft. It’s the same lawsuit Snotty Scottie bragged about settling for pocket change when the lawsuit was filed. I guess it didn’t quite work that way. Too bad.

Richter is a career spammer, a type of a sociopath, and will never stop spamming unless forced to stop. Therefore he’s likely to continue spamming throughout and after the bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy, however, will hopefully make running his spam empire more difficult and costly. That’s about the best thing antispammers can hope for as far as these career scumbags go.

Being the conman [1] that he is, he’s probably hiding assets somewhere, maybe among his other businesses, which are just as spammy as OptInRealbig.

1. Some time after 9/11, Scottie spammed the world to promote a charity he was running that was to collect money towards a variety of 9/11 relief funds. There are NO records that he ever donated any of the money he collected to any of the relief funds. In fact, there are no records whatsoever about the campaign.

Jenna and Barbara Bush – porn spammers?

A subscriber to SPAM-L, an anti-spam mailing list, reported receiving spam supposedly from the Bush daughters. Well, it’s really from the George W. Bush re-election campaign, but it’s signed in the Bush daughters’ names.

Here’re the relevant mail headers:

Received: from mailer1.georgewbush.com (mailer1.georgewbush.com
[65.172.163.151])
From: Jenna and Barbara Bush <bushcheney04.com>
Subject: Behind-the-Scenes with Jenna and Barbara

Behind the scenes with Jenna and Barbara? I take it that the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign didn’t quite think this completely through. I wonder what that subject line looks like in between the other kinds of spam people receive. Let’s see, shall we:

Pertty Woman Dvd Quality Movies!
Big and horny sluts – Real Big Women
Please her everytime
Behind-the-Scenes with Jenna and Barbara
Young Celebrity sex pics

Which one of the bunch is the non-porn spam?
