Why shut down the hosting provider? Go after the people that are doing the spamming. Stuff like that is a waste of time and money. The people that were sending out the spam should have been arrested and thrown in jail.

Get a search warrant for the persons information from the hosting provider - such as billing address and home address, then issue an arrest warrant. Go to their house at 2 am, kick in their front door, arrest them and be done with it.

I see nothing in the article that says the government is doing anything to stop spammers.

The FTC alleges that even though Pricewert officially is registered in Oregon, its principals and staff are located outside of the United States.

Then go to their home country, arrest them and bring them to the USA.

The only reason why we have spam, is because the government does nothing to stop it.

Closing the hosting provider, is like closing a school to stop a pedophile. Its a stupid response to a serious problem. You do not close a school to stop pedophiles, you arrest the person, and put them in prison for the rest of their lives + 1 day.
