a german online news paper reports, that Vardan Kushnir was beaten to death in his apartment.

The 35 year old guy was obviously one of the largest and most agressive spammers in russia. he sent out billions of e-mails and annoyed users even in forums, weblogs and ICQ-channels.

the murderer(s) are probably from russian hacker groups. they say he had made himself many enemies amongst computer and internet user groups.



well i really don't like spammers. but i still feel sorry for the guy :(
