Yes, that is good news, indeed! Let's hope he gets a stiff sentence and maybe a few years in a cell with Bubba.

Yup, I'm afraid he will have no other choice but to get used to Bubba, who's certainly eagerly awaiting his new buddy

Then again I am concerned about something,
Because he got arrested, I'm sure some of his buddies like BadCow and Yambo's Group might be awaiting to goto plan D in order to now use Brute Force on DDoSing some sites now, and making the spam more hard to track who is leading the botnet network,
BadCow has already done so at this time with the Copycat Pharma spam going around, and he is using the United States for BadCow's Fast Flux botnet Army to try to loose us in finding him for this spam. |

Well, following the evidence continiously posted in NANAE, it seems to me that Polyakov, Kuvayev and Yambo can be safely assumed as one and the same spam operation. Unlike Soloway however, they're out of reach for the US jurisdiction. Apart from using botnets for "blasting ads to millions" there's nothing much in common. Soloway wasn't the smartest spammer (to put it mildly) and as such easy to identify, whereas the Russian cartel is acting professional, they can't be traced back to any locations, have their own money laundering system, the perfect cyber mafia, if you want so.
Therefore it's safe to assume that they're not exactly much affected by Soloway's arrest. Speaking of it, the first affidavits by FBI agents come pouring in and are a very interesting read:

The b0tted pc's or hacked servers are scattered all around the world, and to make things worse, they rotate them at quite a fast pace (that's why their DNS responses have such low TTLs). I don't think the Russian cartel has a preference for US located computers, they simply take all they can 0wn.

Well hereis the SBL listing that Bad Cow has Successfully kep using this method, I also know Alex Blood is doing the same thing too since BadCow is closely partnered with Alex and very much has lead to reasons these spammers will never likely be found and some countries prohibit on searching for spammers like these, and so here is the SBL entriee regarding this,
