It looks like the spammer worked for them.
Six businesses and five men have had their assets temporarily frozen by a Las Vegas federal court and are prohibited from sending out any deceptive spam as the case proceeds, the FTC said. Only one of the men charged actually sent out the e-mail, but the others are held liable because they hired him, said Eileen Harrington, associate director of the FTC's Marketing Practices Division.
"It's not just people who push the button to send the spam who can be held liable," Harrington said at a news conference.
