prolly not even going to recover 1% of that
the $873M is justified because the number is set so high they are going to get as much of ABC's assets as they can

Here's my question about all these spammers that get busted: why are they so stupid?
Specifically, why would they think it's safe to operate a "project" like this from their home countries (US, Canada in this case)?
It's like holding up a huge sign with "PLEASE RAPE ME" written on it.
I don't endorse what they do, but jesus fucking H.
It's not exactly rocket science to think to yourself, "Hmm, maybe I should hide my tracks when engaging in this highly illegal activity."
Nahhhhhh, just do it, everything will be coooool maaann.

Elime, computer forensics guys have big balls too. They know the exact same stuff spammers and scammers do, they just apply them to different situations. It is not that easy to hide your tracks. In the end, the only true protection you have is if your country does not give a shit and tells them to fuck off.
I'd have to say that greed does a very good job of clouding judgement.
Someone who doesn't get caught after hacking a few accounts and making a few bucks spends most of their time thinking about all the money they'll have if they significantly ramp up their activities, instead of thinking about covering their tracks.
Not only that, I'm sure that when they are small time and are going unnoticed, they develop feelings of invincibility and arrogance and figure there's NO way they'll get caught.
The judgment is huge because it's a default judgment, if I am not mistaken. The defendant didn't put up a fight.
facebook sued for a loss, so they are trying to recover what they think they lost
for example, myspace thinks (or values) sending one spam message through their messaging system is $100,000 worth of damage done to them
i agree that is a ridiculous amount, i guarantee they didnt make 25% of that spamming the site.
im wondering why fb didnt go after the advertiser for letting them do it instead of the ones who wrote the apps and carried it out? must have been alot of traffic to justify 900 million fucking dollars imo the advertises must have been a little curious as to where all of it was coming from.
i mean fuck anyone with a recaptcha ocr, a boatload of proxies and knowledge of a programming language could have done this. the advertiser is to blame! haha. cmon give these guys some sympathy they are just trying to make a buck- porn was probably the wrong way to do it though and wouldnt look exactly innocent to the law.
you really dont understand how social works, at all.
