Timothy Walton is a Californian attorney known for suing spammers. As a result of his work on the Ferguson case, a California Court of Appeal upheld the constitutionality of California's spam law.
In 2003, some spammers retaliated against Walton by sending spam that appeared to come from his servers. Various network administrators have demonstrated that the incident was a "joe job" attack rather than spam sent by Walton.
