Just weeks after his reformation was made official, once-upon-a-time Spam King Scott Richter has agreed to pay $7 million in damages to Microsoft (the original suit was filed in New York by Microsoft and aggressive consumer advocate and NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer). Richter and his company, OptInRealBig, have also agreed to comply with all state and federal laws regarding spam. The settlement is conditioned on Richter and the company dismissing their bankruptcy petitions pending before U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver.
