Hit the 2nd tier
Why should he be the only one to pay? The companies he promoted through spam should be hit very hard also. The businesses that think it is OK to use a spammer will just look for someone else to carry their message. Lets face it - if you flood the Interent with 25 million messages per day and the response is .001% that would look like good odds to a business. So the second tier needs to be charged with spam as well, since they knowingly paid their money for the service. Currently it is good for them, they advertise - he pays the penalty. Make a few pay a heavy price and see how attractive it looks to them then. It would only need a couple of heavy hitters to go down aand the industry would collapse like a house of cards. Big business - huge fines are the way to go.
