This arrest is all well and good, but the spam keeps coming.

I wonder why that is [highly loaded question]? ;-)

I think the obvious answer here is because spam is too profitable.
Arrest someone and there is a lineup of people waiting to take his or
her place.  The only way to really solve the spam problem is to figure
out a way to remove the financial gain involved in it.


Bingo. :-)
