    Actually it is stated that he is using bot to spam.
    Nobody is crazy enough to do it manually....

    Their fault and problem ;) If they don't have it, then they'll be paying for the rest of their lives :) Hopefully not their family... but they tend to do that too so.

    I live right next to montreal, In canada the law system is light on crimes compared to the USA. You'd have to check with a lawyer if you get prison time or just loose all you have, but even jail time would be like a couple of months. Or maybe he decided to re-do his identity lol!

    this guy will file bankruptcy or appeal it. He more than likely cant pay a 837million dollar judgement, but a BK will wipe it out.

    What he should be more concerned about is facebook forgiving the debt and sending him a 1099 for it! I know that can happen with unpaid debts, i'm not sure about judgements. A BK is probably his best option

    i'm not a lawyer.......its just based on what I have saw with others
