spamming ain't cheap, yo

Facebook won't see a penny of that settlement. Sad but true. The best thing they did was 1) got a spammer off their site and 2) put a nice shot across the bow of any other spammers that had planned to spam Facebook.

I like the settlement but everyone involved knows that Facebook will never see a cent. It was a statement settlement and nothing more.

The American legal system is strange, where do they come up with these giant figures?

You are correct, but I promise you others will take note. I hate these type of spammers.

He most likely has enough hidden that he will NEVER have to work again.

Garnish what wages? If they're spammers then spamming was their job and they're probably too fucking stupid to do anything legit. The cash they did make is sitting pretty in an offshore account or in huge bundles underneath their beds.

Garnishing wages from Taco Bell is going to take a hell of a long time to pay that kind of loot. So Facebook will get $35 a week for the rest of his life?

Like he's got that kind of money...

Spamming is risky, immoral and a stupid idea in general. I hate spamS!

Thats a lot of money for spamming. I quit myspace due to the amount of spam

egbiz · 11-25-2008, 12:15 PM

Weird, I have had myspace since 03 or 04 --- Sure I've gotten some spam messages, but I'd say less than 20 over the last 5 years.

andy83 · 11-25-2008, 12:48 PM

----
To that end, Facebook has hired lawyers in Canada to enforce the judgment against Guerbuez and locate his assets, O'Rourke said. "We want to make it clear that we are not just doing this for the PR value," he said.

Looks like they are at least going to try and collect. If this was a script kiddie that was too afraid to show up in court, then he probably doesn't have big money offshore.
