Prof. Farber,

For IP if you wish.

Where does SPAM originate? Meet Scott Richter.

http://www.westword.com/issues/current/feature.html/1/index.html

According to the article, this guy pulls in $2 million in revenues a
month from spamming. He sends out 50-250 million spam messages every
day.

His future might be less bright though, New York's Attorney General
Eliot Spitzer and Microsoft both want him stopped.
