Sanford “Spamford” Wallace owes $711.2 million to Facebook as awarded by a California court on Thursday. Facebook will receive from Sanford Wallace the amount of $711.2 million against an anti-spam activity his company performed to access Facebook users’ accounts. Sanford the “Spam King” also sent fake posts and messages.

The president of a company called ‘Cyber Promotions’ Sanford Wallace who earned himself an unsavory reputation in 1997 by endorsing himself as the original ‘Spam King,’ is liable to pay a huge fine to Facebook authorities. A court in California has awarded the social networking Web site Facebook with their claim of anti-spam damages of $711.2 million against Sanford.

In their lawsuit against the Internet marketer Sanford, the Facebook had accused him of interfering their users’ personal accounts unauthorized and without permission. They further alleged that the users were sent forged and sham material as well as bogus messages persuading them into wrong offers. The bluff master has now been referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office by the San Jose court and the prosecution for criminal contempt of the court will be determined there to send him to the jail.

Facebook are not the only victim of Sanford. Earlier in the year 2008 in May another $230 million lawsuit was registered and won against him by the online service providers ‘MySpace.’ Their plea was not any different than Facebook as Sanford was alleged of sending junk messages to their members and defamed the company.

A Los Angeles court declared Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines (his partner) guilty in 2006 again. Both the partners were imposed CAN-SPAM law and $4 million fine was recovered from the duo. They were accused of running an illegal operation they titled ‘spyware’ that destroyed and infected countless computers worldwide through their pop-up ads.

Believe it or not Sanford Wallace’s Cyber Promotions’ used to send as many as 30 million junk mails each day during 1990s.
