Russian spammer brutally murdered

I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen anyone else mention this. A notorious Russian spammer, who was hated by millions of people, was found bludgeoned to death in his apartment. The apparent motive appears to be robbery, which is ironic since so many people acted as if they would have liked to kill him for his spamming.

If nothing is stolen it would seem more likely someone did intend to kill him.
Pretty sick if this is indeed the case, you want him to stop get everybody to spam him, send many virusses, flood his appartment with real mail, if it doesn't help it will still make a funny story.

Ironically enough, when I clicked on the page I was confronted with one of those little ads stating:

"If your computer has been running slower than usual, it may be infected with adware or spyware. To scan your computer, click yes below."

On topic, though, it is pretty deplorable IMO, that the general consensus appears to be, "he had it coming to him."
I know when my computer was deluged by a bunch of infections I joked about wanting to strangle the person responsible, but I seriously did not mean it, and I find it appalling that somebody (assuming death was related to the victim's spamming activities) would be driven to such a level. It reminds me of road rage, where drivers stuck in traffic lose all sense of rationality and go on a shooting spree.
It really makes you wonder just where some people's boundaries of sanity actually lie....

While his spam was a bad thing, hey may have been killed by several reasons... also, stealing and killing him may be a form of disguising the true purpose of the crime...

And, after so much spam, viruses and stuff he may have gathered a few selected powerfull enemies who got rid of him.

The bad think is that he was murdered, not arrested for his "crime" (well, I always feel like while annoying, spam is not really a correctly defined crime).

I learned a very important lesson when I was young. You just don't screw with other peoples lives for your own amusement unless you are prepared to deal with the consequences of it. I'm assuming this would be one of those cases. Perhaps it's my "Family" history, but if I were to constantly torment people for kicks, I'd be prepared for a violent reprisal and expect it.

*shrugs* Then again, it could have been a random break in and the people might not have even known who he was too. My friend just had his house broken into yesterday morning while he was at work, those things happen.
