Man fined $1B for sending Facebook spam

Looks Like He Doesn't Really Care All That Much LOL

MONTREAL – A Montreal man who sent more than four million spam e-mails to Facebook users over a two-month period was ordered to pay the social media giant more than $1 billion in compensation,

Guerbuez was fined $100 US for each of the 4,366,386 spam messages that were posted onto Facebook profiles in March and April 2008. With punitive damages and the exchange rate factored in, Guerbuez owes $1,068,928,721.46. He’s also barred from opening a Facebook account.
The self-described online marketer says Facebook will have difficulty collecting the sum now that he has filed for bankruptcy.

  3. So, he got away with it and can start all over. Instead of fining the spammers and allowing them to file bankruptcy, instead they should be sentenced to eat only SPAM the rest of their lives.
