EmailAppenders Owner Possibly a Fugitive
The man behind India-based Data Champions/Sloan Marketing—the company that seemingly operates or has operated under EmailAppenders and dozens of other aliases—may be wanted by U.S. authorities on 10-year-old immigration charges.
According to anti-spam blocklisting site Spamhaus, the owner of Data Champions/Sloan Marketing is a man named Subhakar “Sam” Surapaneni.
“Data Champions owner Subhakar ‘Sam’ Surapaneni appears to reside in the physical jurisdiction of India, probably Bangalore,” according to Spamhaus.org
In 1999, the Detroit News reported that Surapaneni was ordered to pay a $450,000 fine under a plea agreement after federal investigators found he had brought in dozens of immigrants from India under false claims and housed some in squalid conditions.
