I'm not sure why this follows. Wiping out the fraudulent spammers would take a War On Spam, with massive levels of propaganda to stir up public opinion enough to justify the money it would cost. In that kind of environment, even in the aftermath, no white hat would dare spam; their customers would immediately turn against them.
