Russian Police Say Robbers Killed Spammer Kushnir
2005-07-28
Update: No, not a disgruntled recepient. Seems he picked up three hookers to party with, they mickeyed him and beat him to death when he came out of it early. Boo hoo hoo...
We caried that story, tu. I replaced it with your update, cuz we love hooker beating spammers to death stories here.
The murder of Russia’s biggest spammer Vardan Kushnir was not connected with his Internet activity, but with a straightforward robbery, Moscow investigators reported. Kushnir, 35, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Sunday. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head. Investigators, quoted by the Kommersant newspaper, said this was not a contract murder or revenge for spamming. “Things are simpler. He became a victim of clonidine. For now, this is the only theory.”
"Vlad, pickup the usual suspect hookers!"
At the scene, investigators discovered soporific, a sleep inducer, in a glass and a woman’s dressing gown and blouse. Apparently, the spammer had met three girls in a club called the Hungry Duck, and invited them to his apartment.
"Hic...say girls...hic...hows about we go back....hic...to my place. I'll show you ....hic....my hard drive."
The girls then poured soporific into his wine, but it is suppected that the dose was insufficient, and that Kushnir woke up when the girls’ accomplices arrived to rob his house.
"Man, what was in that.....hey, who are youse guys?"
During the ensuing scuffle, he was killed.
....rosebud...
The robbers took his credit cards, laptop, digital video camera, gold and money. On Monday, police detained one of the suspected girls.
"Ok, Natasha, where's our cut?"
Kushnir headed the English learning centers, which included the Center for American English, the New York English Center and the Center for Spoken English, all known to have extremely aggressive Internet advertising policies which featured sending millions of e-mails every day. In the past angry Internet users had retaliated against the American English centre by publishing the Center’s telephone numbers extensively throughout the Web to provoke telephone calls. The Center’s telephone was advertised as a contact number for cheap sex services, or bargain real estate sales.
Looks like one of those cheap sex services may have come back to....bite him.

#6  He was 35. Three girls were too many. Men past 30 should limit themselves to two.

#5  ...lawmakers are working on projects that could protect Russian Internet users in ways similar to the U.S. and Europe.

How about getting US and Europe hookers to protect internet users in a way similar to Russia?

#3  Justice is swift and sure. Flawed, but swift and sure. I guess spamming is now a capital crime (snicker).
