petzl Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Viagra spammer may be Australian The Australian Communications and Media Authority is investigating an allegation that an Australian resident had used his or her home computer to send more than 2 billion unsolicited spam emails. The authority searched the premises, believed to be in Queensland, a few weeks ago, and expects its investigation will take several more months. The regulator would not divulge details of the case yesterday, but the Herald understands that this investigation could help it find other Australian spammers who operate from their homes.

Farelf Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 2 billion (even tiddly little Yank billions) that's obscene. Just hope he hasn't made enough to pay his fines (assuming he's guilty and ACMA can prove it). The Commonwealth needs a "proceeds of crimes" Act like some/most states - don't think there is, can't see it happening. Could we swap him for David Hicks?
