I'm not singling Brendan out in particular as this is the first I've heard of him, rather that there seem to be some pretty common traits between the serial spammers and the personality disorder mentioned. They'd have to be pretty solid or lacking in empathy not to 'get' the huge amount of hatred we all have for them. This is a little off topic now, but I enjoy psych discussions. Email me off thread if anyone wants to pick apart a spam king's head. Shane Hobson wrote:
I worked with Brendan for several months prior to his spamming episode. He's certainly not stupid. Perhaps just has some different ideas about what might be considered acceptable marketing techniques. However, I only saw one side of him.

They never seem to learn. Do chronic spammers display some psychopathic tendencies or are they just all really stupid?
