I would post the additional emails that Steve sent me but I would have to edit out some other parts of the conversations and I am not in the mood to waste my time on it. So what I posted above is the jist of it.

Ah ok, now that clears a lot up. I could never figure out how the spammer I was referring to earlier, would be spamming on what appeared to be longstanding legit model accounts, often late at night.

I thought for the longest time that the model must be in cahoots with the spammer, but didn't understand why she would risk losing her account. He must have phished a lot of model accounts to gain access and then spammed with their accounts when he knew they wouldn't be broadcasting. The domains he spammed with always led back to Russia and he rotated affiliate offers frequently.
