Spam king shuts down… YEA RIGHT!
The Australian IT is reporting that super spam king, Shane Atkinson, has shut down his business.The New Zealand Herald newspaper last week did a story on Atkinson. As a result soon after personal information about Atkinson was found out and posted to the web. He's been reciving threats and such and says he fears for his childrens safety.
I'm calling it complete bullflop folks! It's nothing more than a big lie to get the heat off of him. I give it 10 to 1 odds that he's already setting up shop under new names and new locations. The work is too easy and the payout too great for a guy like that to stop!
I in no way condone violence but honestly folks the cold hard fact is that it's going to take reports of spammers getting physically harmed, homes trashed, etc before it scares any of these guys into stopping. Using technology might help cut down on spam but there are just too many idiots out there that continue to buy from spammers. No amount of discussion will stop it as it has become a part of life.
