They did sue 300 spammers, so it's possible that some of them are still around, either as individual proprietors or as corporate entities, but they're only responsible for their individual spamming totals, not the whole billion. Most of the billion dollars was in two big awards, and the other numbers that got into the article were like $140K. But even if there are a dozen that are on the hook for $10K each that still exist and have seizable assets, that's enough to pay the lawyer bills. For the small fry, you probably can't seize their double-wides, but you might get to take their computers and get their DSL shut off. ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far. And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
