These people attempted to sell drugs to children in schools in Texas. Why aren't they strapped to a table waiting for the lethal injection to kick in? The laws in Texas are clear about this being a crime and its clear about the punishment yet the tough talking District Attorneys in Texas haven't been able to touch them or anyone else yet.

They made *millions* from financing the chaps who told people about penis-lengthening? They raked in so much they had to launder the dosh? I never appreciated just how many people out there are sufficiently envious of what some of us have naturally (modest shuffle) that they'd really truly respond to the messages saying '"Yes, please, Mr Postman, rush me one of your kits!"

But if international money laundering is going on, it's something that the cops maybe can understand, prove, and prosecute.
And because of that, at the end of it all we can be fairly confident that they've nailed the right guys.
There are, for instance, British computer-specific laws which could be used to hammer the operators of any bot-net, but it would be a struggle to prove anything.

Each herbal remedy spam is really a cry for help, isn't it? Girls' self-image issues are pretty well acknowledged, but it's pretty obvious moms and pops should be telling their sons
a) they're big enough
b) they can't get bigger with pills even if they wanted
c) getting bigger wouldn't make one a better lover anyway
d) what does make one better
If you think it's a tough issue to talk about, think about how much less spam you'll have in 20 years.
Tux because he doesn't have self-image issues. He knows he's a studmuffin.

May I be the first to volunteer to give them a penis enlargement -using a mallet & anvil.
Alternatively, can I stick some ever-so-small pins in these guys? Just one pin for every spam message that I have had to clean out of my Inbox over the last few years. That should do 'em.

Millions of $'s, luandered. They won't get them on Spaming, they will clobber them with the old Tax evasion laws, that has previously bought many a crook down.

Come on... Let's see theft charges and them having to repay the costs of all our electricity that's used transmitting their garbage, all the spam filtering machines, software, bigger mail server disc drives and additional bandwidth people have had to buy to deal with it and all the increased charges we have to pay ISPs because of all the stuff they've had to buy.
Thanks for the name and shame. Hopefully names and faces can be put to more of the Spamhaus top 10...

is to spend the next ten years manually sorting real email from spams (in realistic proportions, ie about 1 legit per every 50-80 spams). Electric shock for every mistake made.
