A large Internet spamming operation out of Austin, Texas, has been shut
down for good, it was reported Friday.
A 24-year-old University of Texas graduate was sued in civil court by
Microsoft and the State of Texas for spamming, The Chicago Tribune reported.
Ryan Pitylak faces fines of at least $1 million and will be stripped of
most of his assets and forced to stop spamming forever, the newspaper
said. He admitted sending out 25 million e-mails every day at the height
of his operation.
"He definitely learned how to run a business," his attorney, William
Paul Lawrence, told the newspaper. "But his choice of business starting
out maybe wasn't the best one."
