I’m glad you’re all so happy, but even if this guy is stopped, there’s a hundred (thousand?) more after him. Many of the others are overseas, and probably not able to be sued.
Unfortunetly, the German word for it is “Justicehasbeendeliveredphotographedbeautifullyforthealbumsleptthroughthenightfromtheveryfirstdaypottytrainedassoonasshecouldsitupcutallofherteethwithoutsomuchasapeepputherselfthroughschoolwithsavingsfromsummerjobsshestartedatageninewhichneverinterferedwithherchoresatallwentintobusinessforherselfateighteenmovedoutthesameyeargracedthecoveroffortunethenextandmadeanipoattwentywhichboughtherparentsaniceplaceinthehamptonsfortheirearlyretirement.”
The plaintiff just needs to give the spammer his checking acct info, and the money will get transfered in…
Seinfeld would’ve had a field day with this.
You know, it’s amazing you should mention this. I just got an email from the prosecutor, saying that because he’s going through a messy divorce he doesn’t want to deposit the settlement money into his own account, but that I had been recommended as a trustworthy individual who could help him out, Christ be with me. If I was willing to provide a temporary U.S. bank account for the monies, I would receive 25% of the principal or 2.8 BILLION DOLLARS.
I of course jumped on this once in a lifetime opportunity.
So, since I’ll be handling the transaction, I’ll make sure not to do anything stupid like give the spammer my account information. This guy is lucky he found me – there’s a lot of suckers out there, and you have to be extra careful when dealing with spammers.
After reading Dewey Finn’s post, you may be right. 
Spamalot-not
War on terror or war on spam? Hmmmmm.
Can we just hire subcontractors to go after terrorists for us and devote our resources to sticking the spammers in Guantanamo bay without access to proper counsel or the outside world instead?
I mean, for real…
Oooh. What about just putting bounties on the spammers, and letting overseas bounty hunters handle things?
i have this wonderful image in my mind of a spammer encased in Carbonite, with Boba Fett saying "what if he dies, he’s no use to me dead…
for once, it seems the Justice Department actually works
sad thing is, i don’t see this reducing the amount of spam much, nothing short of tactical nuclear strikes could do that, y’know, put those “bunker-busting” nukes to good use…
Is that anything like spider-sense? Do you have to be bitten by a radioactive jurist first?
Kramering. You heard it here first.
Gerechtigkeitsfreude
No, something doesn’t add up here. $11.2 billion, if it’s $10 per email, would be 1.12 billion emails. But in the article:
Which would only be $2.8 billion. So somewhere along the line that got quadrupled to account for damages or something, or else Kramer got $40 per email.
It feels like hot dogs!
I credit Bush.
This has been quoted enough times, but I thought I’d point out this works best if you imagine this being said in the voice of The Tick or maybe The Crimson Chin.
Mmmmm. Hot dogs.
Maybe the judge saved him the trouble of doing the calculation and factored in the interest for him. Presumably they didn’t choose to go the ironic route and give him <b>S~U~P~E~R low 1n+ere$t rate s!!!</b>
This has got me thinking - just how much does a spammer earn? I mean, if the judge is serious about Kramer paying it back, $10 per week payment plan is a little unrealistic.
Kramer is the good guy here.
McCalla is the figure of fun.
I sincerely hope that the judgement is against him personally and not some corporate fiction – and that he’ll have his earnings garnisheed for the remainder of his execrable existance.
Whoops, I mean McCalla paying it back - thanks Larry.
