Russian Viagra spammer murdered
Doctors no longer worried about his stiffness lasting more than four hours

http://loonov.com/russian-viagra-and-penis-enlargement-spammer-murdered.htm


Alexey Tolstokozhev (btw, in Russian his name means 'Thick Skin'), a Russian spammer, found murdered in his luxury house near Moscow. He has been shot several times with one bullet stuck in his head. According to authorities, this last head shot is a clear mark of russian hit men (known as "killers" in Russia).

Who hated Tolstokozhev so much as to hire a hit man to assasinate him? Well, I guess you have about one billion e-mail users to suspect. Tolstokozhev was a famous spammer who sent millions of e-mail promoting viagra, cialis, penis enlargement pills and other medications. Links in these e-mails usually led to some pharmacy shop, which paid Tolstokozhev a share of its revenue. This is a well known affiliate scheme employed by spammers worldwide. Tolstokozhev is estimated to be responsible for up to 30% percent of all viagra and penis enlargement related spam.

5. What's .01% of millions? :)
Email is free, unlike real mail. His only monthly business cost is an electric bill and an internet connection, plus the initial investment of a computer.

3. If I told millions of men daily that they couldn't get it up, I'd be dead too

10. Sometimes, you find it really hard to be sympathetic to a murder victim.
This is one of those times.

15. As I read this article I couldn't help laughing hysterically...
I know it's so wrong...

But this guy lived in a freaking luxury home in Moscow and is found gunned down execution style? Wow, Russia is one crazy country. I'm finding it funny just thinking someone could get that pissed about spam to cap him!

16. Now it's 999,999,999 email suspects.
I received those emails but didn't hire a hitman.
