I predict very little sympathy.

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

Yes, I would certainly never condone such a thing but it is weary getting emails from people with names like "Random Y. Thesaurus"

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?

All you people posting flippant comments about this spammer's death should be ashamed of yourselves.

I should be, too, but I'm not....

"---repeated blows---" sound like death by cast iron mouse to me. Probably sueecide when he ran into my anti Russian dumbass message rule. My only hope is that his demise was directly related to the damage he's done around the world and the word will get out that screwing with the wrong guy's email could be fatal. ---A clear result of making an obnoxious pig out of ones self.

Maybe we should grant the responsible party an H1B visa.

Any chance that any of them do foreign work?

How does one go about joining an anti-spam gang?

Tough initiation?

Do they have a web site?
