I guess we'll have to wait and find out whether someone really died, and whether they were killed because of spam, and not because of a "usual" money-related dispute.

They all prey on the weak for their own gain. I personally would not mind employing some SpamAssasin of my own sometimes. The spammers can sleep as well as the drug dealers and child abusers can.

Regardless, it seems that spamming is a shady business, and people in shady businesses sometimes run afoul of people in a world where normal rules often don't apply. I wouldn't be so quick to say that spamming is free of that type of danger. Are you arguing that the death did not occur at all, or that it was unrelated to his spamming?
