Who's the biggest spammer of them all, then?
A New Zealander accused of being the mastermind of the world's largest online spam operation, which could send 10 billion emails a day, has been fined A$210,000 (NZ$260,000) by a Brisbane court.

Yep, don't emigrate, too many spammers here
Interesting noting the fine amounts he got in NZ (~100k) to US (~200M or something bizarre). |
