E-mailer says suits drove it bankrupt | |

E-mail marketer Scott Richter fought lawman Eliot Spitzer, but he's knuckling under to the world's richest man, Bill Gates. Richter's company, Westminster-based OptInRealBig.com, has filed for bankruptcy protection in Denver. The company cited a costly legal battle with Gates' Microsoft Corp., which claims OptInRealBig.com illegally spams computer users. "It's the legal fees that are battering the company," said OptInRealBig.com lawyer Steven Richter, father of Scott Richter. He said the company faces lawsuits from Microsoft and other parties in Colorado, California and Utah. "OptIn is profitable but for these lawsuits." The 5-year-old company, which employed 25 people last year and had 350 clients, will continue to operate under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, he said. |

| Let me break out the world's smallest violin and play "My Heart Bleeds for You". If he's looking for sympathy, he can look in the dictionary between sh*t and syphilis. 15 million e-mails a day and he's not a spammer...riiiiight. Maybe if more of these spam scums were sued and prosecuted, the spam would at least slow down. Make it unprofitable to do what they're doing....maybe it will stop. |
