BUSTED: Anti Spam Forces Bankrupt Super-Spammer Scott Richter

The company's flagship product, IronMail provides a best of breed enterprise anti spam solution designed to stop spam, phishing attacks and other email-based threats. While the bankruptcy filing shows the power of legislation and legal action from parties with a vested interest in stopping spam, Richter is not likely to fade quietly into the sunset. Despite his guilty plea, Richter maintains his innocence, saying he pleaded guilty to the felony charges because it was easier to be done with it, and he had too much stuff going on in my life. None of OptInRealBig's assets will be liquidated, meaning the company's stable of spam cannons will remain active. According to court records, an informant's tip regarding a stolen Bobcat loader led undercover officers to Richter.
