Infamous Russian spammer murdered

Last Updated Tue, 26 Jul 2005 15:36:17 EDT CBC News
A notorious Russian spammer was found dead in his Moscow apartment Sunday after being beaten about the head, according to the Interfax news service. Vardan Kushnir, 35, headed an English-language learning centre and carried out an aggressive internet advertising strategy, sending millions of e-mails every day.
Angry internet users fought back by publishing the centre's telephone number on the web and advertising it as a place for cheap sex or bargain real estate.
The strategy failed to deter Kushnir, who ran the American Language Center, a Moscow-based school that taught English.
The St. Petersburg Times reported that the killer or killers had apparently rifled through Kushnir's belongings and left his home in disarray.
Authorities refused to comment on a possible motive.
While spamming is legal in Russia, politicians are working ways to protect Russian internet users.

I'm sure thats not what killed him.... he was prolly connected with the russian mob and they knocked him off. Russia is always in the Top 3 countries with the highest murder rate, theirs is like double the US because the mob controls like 80% of ALL businesses. Thats not a joke, they're serious. They snatched everythin up when communism fell, so if you want to be succesful some way or another you have to have a connection with them. its the same in poland just the murders arent as bad

Interesting, do you have any idea why the mob would kill him though? Seems like he was doing a good enough job.... I suppose there could be any reason though.

That actually sounds like the most reasonable motive to kill the guy

He prolly just wasnt giving them a big enough cut or something, lying about how much he was making, maybe trying to do spamming shit on the side that he wouldnt tell them about. Maybe he fucked one of their daughters... could be anything really, they kill alot


*edit*
actually I just checked. The murder rate in Russia is actually quadruple that of the US, so if you think the US has bad crime, think again lol

In Russia its 22.1 per 100,000 people in the US its only 5.6

My country actually has the same crime rate as Russia, but the murder rate is like half of theirs. Those Russians dont fuck around, they got alot of people thirsty for power
