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.
Kinda makes ya feel warm and fuzzy inside. :)
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.
