Spamford Wallace banished from MySpace

Charles Darwin

Evil is as evil does

Spamford^wSanford Wallace has been a sociopath as long as I've known him - sadly, since his CyberPromo days. He mail-bombed my wife back then, because she had the temerity to send him an email from her AOL account asking to be "unsubscribed".

That's what got me into the email security business.

I have no sympathy for the nutjob. He's "deeply apologized" and "sincerly promised" to get out of the spamming business for a looong time - and he always falls back on his old ways - hijacking accounts, spamming - I'm surprised no stolen credit cards were involved.

With luck, MySpace wlll get a multi-million dollar judgment against him, just as they did with Theglobe. Not that they'll ever be able to collect - he's surely as paper-poor and judgement proof as always. Perhaps his long history of criminal behavior, plus the monetary scope that MySpace should be able to assign, will interest the FBI in adding him to their list of spammer criminals they are chasing,.

Sociopaths like Wallace are as incurable as pedophiles. Castration or prison are the only approach for the latter. Unless someone can successfully ban Sanford from any Internet contact, either directly or through agents or associates, prison's the only approach that will work for him.
