Looks like the State of Mass is going after a Russian Spam ring. I love the fact that the US is still the leader in spam according to a recent Sophos report, but we turn the cameras on those outside our borders. Go get em Yankees.
Massachusetts Hits “Internet Spam Gang” With $37 Million Fine Oct. 13, 2005 - from Information Week
To collect, the state’s Attorney General is looking for Leo Kuveyev, the leader of the spam ring, who’s believed to be in Russia.
The Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General is looking for Leo Kuveyev, the leader of the “Internet Spam Gang,” whose illegal spam operation was fined $37 million by a Boston judge this week.
“We believe he is in Russia,” said assistant attorney general Scott Schafer Thursday. “He continuously moves around.”
Kuvayev and six other persons with Massachusetts ties were named in a suit brought by Attorney General Tom Reilly in May and the court decision came down this week. Schafer, who is an assistant attorney general in the state’s consumer protection and antitrust division, said civil and not criminal charges were brought against Kuvayev so his operation could be quickly shut down.
