NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A California judge awarded Facebook $711 million in damages against spammer Sanford Wallace for bombarding the web site with junk messages.

"We won another battle in the fight against spam," said Facebook, which announced the Oct. 29 ruling on its Web site on Friday.

Wallace, who has also been called the "Spam King," accessed Facebook members' accounts without their permission and sent out "phony" Wall posts and messages, the company said.

In addition to the damages, Judge Jeremy Fogel of U.S. District Court in Northern California's San Jose division banned Wallace, and anyone affiliated with him, from accessing Facebook.

Facebook acknowledged that it doesn't expect to get much money out of the bankrupt Wallace, but it said that he could end up behind bars.

one of my co-workers was talking about this one, and i thought it was kind of funny... congrats to the judge though, because spammers suck balls.
