Portigui writes "CNN is reporting that the FTC is considering imposing a
bounty on spammers. They are guessing it would take between $100,000 to
$250,000 to get people to rat out their friends, coworkers, etc...
Interstingly enough is that it is 'higher than rewards in most
high-profile criminal and terrorism cases. For example, the FBI pays
$50,000 for tips leading to the arrests of most of its top 10
fugitives.'"
