Especially in these times of heightened security everywhere. I'd be
very surprised if spammers went to these lengths.
IANAL, but isn't the big problem to prove who the originator is?
Just that e.g. a site is spamvertised is not a evidence. Other than
that it would be really easy to get rid of competitors.
And with all the taken hosts esp. in South Asia and South America
it shouldn't be too hard a thing to get it spread without anyone being
able to prove the real source. And as soon as it's gone the mission is
accomplished.
