Oops; the text got cut out:
Russia's Interfax news agency reports that notorious spammer Vardan Kushnir was found brutally murdered. His body was discovered in his Moscow apartment on Sunday, showing evidence of repeated blows to the head.... Among those complaints came death threats; it is speculated that while many were from angered users, some may have come from the sort of loosely-organized anti-spam gangs described in the 2004 book Spam Kings.
And possibly, one followed through on the many deadly promises made over the years to Mr. Kushnir, in his Moscow apartment over the weekend.

He was struck in the head ... repeatedly ... fitting end for a notorious spammer By spammer logic, it's his own fault for not signing up for the killer's do-not-hit-me-in-the-head list.

Kind of an extreme solution to the spam problem but probably effective. I just hope this is the guy that goes by the name "Estaban Tanner" who has sent me about a quarter of a million offers to loan me $402,000 in mortgage money.

Two questions.
1) WHO DID THIS?
2) Do they accept Paypal?

To me, it seems that a "spam-king" kinda person would be involved in more subversive "business interests" as well as the spamming. Possibly guns, drugs, etc? IMO wondering out loud.

If I ever find Mr. Random Y. Thesaurus I will deliver multiple blows to his head.

All you people posting flippant comments about this spammer's death should be ashamed of yourselves.
I should be, too, but I'm not....
