FCC Hits Robocaller With $120 Million Fine But the Calls Probably Won't Stop Anytime Soon

 

The Federal Communications Commission summoned all of its regulatory strength Thursday and dropped a record $120 million fine on a notorious robocall operator who placed nearly 100 million spoofed calls. It’s just a shame that the punishment probably won’t accomplish anything.

 

Adrian Abramovich of Miami, Florida was on the receiving end of the largest forfeiture ever imposed by the FCC for his three-month-long spam campaign that placed 96 million unsolicited calls that offered the unfortunate recipients “exclusive” travel deals that were likely fake.

Six-Day War

 

The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[3] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.[4] At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.[1][5]

 

Israel apologized for the attack, saying that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship.[6] Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity,[2] though others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.[7]

 

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$23.4 million in 2017) to the U.S. government in compensation to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($23.8 million in 2017) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($17.8 million in 2017) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest.
