"A 25-year-old Japanese man has been arrested in Tokyo for allegedly sending 2.2 billion spam messages advertising gambling and dating services under the guise of a fake identity, according to Japanese media reports.

Police in Tokyo said on Friday that they had arrested Yuki Shiina after receiving a complaint from an ISP last year about the vast amounts of emails he was sending, Japan’s English speaking news service, Japan Today reported.

    The interesting thing is what sort of punishment will he get.

    A severe and deterrent punishment must be given to him or else it is just a waste of time and spammers will continue to do what they do UNLESS a severe penalty is given out.

    A BIG fine, caning and jail term will deter and scare off other spammers !!!
