Facebook's usually really good about fighting spammers and multiple accounts from what I've seen. Early community was facebook was filled with spammers but it's much harder to find spam accounts nowadays. Basically every account I encounter is real....I wonder what crazy thing he had to do to get 500k spam accounts

It doesn't say they're spam accounts -- more likely good accounts taken over, which accounts for some of the fraud.

I made a nice bit of money spamming those early community pages. . . Ahh yes the good 'ole days.

The technical term is not "made", but something more like "stole". If you put $1 in your pocket while wasting $10 (or, more likely, $100 or $1000) of other people's time, then you're not a productive citizen, you're a parasite.
