After all attempts to counter phishing, it is only natural for MS to try to downplay the impact of phishing.
Whatever economic analysis any professor conjures up - it will not stop the thousands of phishers outthere. And even without the success analysis by Davchev, thousands upon thousands of newbie phishers will pour funds into phishing scams with limited success.
At the end of the day, the scam victims will never be consoled by the fact that their friendly scammer lost money on the entire scam.
