Davis Hawke, a Spam King

One of the United State's most notorious spammers - the underground entrepreneur responsible for the deluge of adverts for Viagra, pornography and high-interest loans which swamp email inboxes. AOL won a $12,8-million judgment against Hawke last year. AOL accused Hawke of violating anti-spam laws by sending unwanted emails to its subscribers and won its case in a default judgment against Hawke.

At one time, Hawke and his partners earned more than $600 000 a month by sending unwanted sales pitches over the internet for loans, pornography, jewellery and prescription drugs. He lived a nomadic life, travelling around in an old police car, and told journalists he buried his valuables. His mother thinks that the gold bars and other precious metals he bought are buried in the White Mountains north of Boston.
