All I can say it it's about time. Hopefully, a few more spammers will go bankrupt, and the rest will start to get the message.

Probably won't happen, but it's a nice thing to hope for.
You want to move the closing bracket outside the [url] block in that link

Edit: searching for Scott Richter and bankrupt brings up quite a few references, so it may just be true
