It is followed by a "friend" Leonid Kuvaev (photo attached ) - a native of Russia, who, like spammer number 1, sends out advertisements to pornographic websites and uses zombie networks created using viruses. According to Spamtest magazine , in October 2005, Kuvaev fled after a court in Massachusetts when his group was fined $ 37 million for spamming activities. Since then, he has been hiding from justice - according to unverified data, in Russia.
