Case brought to court last February. Facebook complained when Sanford Wallace has accessed peoples’ Facebook account without permission and sent Wall post and make fake messages.

Today the case was settled in court with the winner Facebook. Wallace was ordered to pay damages of U.S. $ 711.2 million to Facebook. Unfortunately, Wallace does not have that much money. “We do not expect to receive a very large number, but hopes that this will be a continuous barrier against the criminal is,” writes Sam O’Rourke in a blog post Facebook.

This is not the first time Facebook get spammers to court. November last year, Facebook wins U.S. $ 873 million when run in Adam Guerbuez and Atlantis Blue Capital for sending messages skewed to the Facebook users and made web sites phishing for logins and addresses e-mail Facebook. Until now, Facebook is still trying to get money indemnity.
