a 200 page report detailing each individual spammer and why they should go
should be pretty clear. The response was that since they were
"profitable", they were "off limits".

Whistleblowing is not something you do lightly. Only when it's the only
thing left do you even start to consider the mere possibility. Even then
you put it off...

Savvis' (now ex) lawyer told me that if I did this "you'll never work in
the industry again", and I knew he was probably right. But I still had to
do it.

Anything else would have been selling out: I will not trade my reputation
for money.
