U.S. fines Bill Gates $800,000

U.S. fines Bill Gates $800,000 05/03/2004 03:16 PM
It may just be pocket change for the richest man in the world, but Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has been fined $800,000 by the federal government for violating an antitrust rule. Will the world's richest man feel an $800,000 fine? The technical incident has nothing to do with the government's massive antitrust battles with Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates). Gates, whose fortune has been estimated at more than $40 billion, ran afoul of the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department's Antitrust Division for his purchases of stock in a drug company and a waste-hauling firm.

Spam Fines For Singapore

Spam Fines For Singapore 05/25/2004 02:49 PM
If you thought US laws to prevent spam were ineffective and misguided, this link should be amusing. Singapore is considering a 58 cent fine per spam email. No details on how that fine was reached or what the definition of spam will be, but if the Singaporean government can stop spam, no one will complain. However, spammers are a notoriously difficult lot to hunt down, and maybe especially so, if the threat of caning could be an option.
