In recent news, Facebook is the winner from a lawsuit against a spammer.  The person who is doing the damages to Facebook is no one other than Sanford Wallace. This spammer and crook deliberately sending millions of unsolicited emails to registered Facebook users, tricking many of them into divulging their login information or redirecting them to sites that paid him for each visit. A judge yesterday said that the spammer had acted with blatant disregard for Facebook users.  Social networking  giant Facebook was today awarded $711 million in damages from Sanford Wallace.

According to L.A Times, “Wallace willfully violated the statutes in question with blatant disregard for the rights of Facebook users whose accounts were compromised by his conduct.” We are not sure if this poor crook has any money, but $711 million is a lot of money.It seems Facebook is fully prepared to wait for the cash.”While we don’t expect to quickly collect the full amount, we’ll work hard to get everything we can,” Simon Axten, a privacy and public policy associate at Facebook, said in a statement. This case is a good example of how spammers are getting punish for their annoying tricks and gimmicks.
