MySpace Wins Uncollectable $234 Million Award In Spam Case As most of you know, last month MySpace won its case against Sanford "Spamford" Wallace — the infamous 1990s "Spam King" who (despite losing many court battles and owing millions in fines) simply can’t seem to give up his obsession with scammy marketing techniques. The win was a default judgment, mainly because Wallace simply disappeared and stopped responding to court requests.Today, a judge ruled on the punishment, officially awarding MySpace $234 million from Wallace and his associate Walter Rines. Given Wallace’s disappearing act (which he’s done in the past as well) it’s unlikely that MySpace will ever see a dime of the money, but that hasn’t stopped the company from touting this as the largest ever award under CAN SPAM. Amusingly, the extremely short court ruling also bars Wallace from setting up any new MySpace profiles. It doesn’t say anything about Facebook, though, so perhaps that’s where we’ll see him next…
