What are you saying?

That trusting income from Google is a bad bet? Or that he should not have threatened the spammer?

With regards to the threat - he did have a valid claim against the guy - he could have complained to the registrar and eventually had the spam domain confiscated.

As to relying on Google, Amazon, Paypal and friends to stand by you when things get tough... plenty of other people have made that mistake in the past.

Often they trust them because they have no other real choice. I'd watch this with more of a sense of 'there but for the grace of god go I'
