It makes me sad that asking Google to fix their problem is the best solution Goldman Sachs can come up with. A few other options off the top of my head: * DDoS the gmail account in question with spam, particularly spam that looks like it contains confidential information. * Create a clever job ad on reddit, advertising a GS position in IT Security division by tracking down an email user supposedly played by a GS confederate, and then provide the gmail account in the ad * Blackmail the unintended recipient, perhaps by sending the sort of data it's illegal in the U.S. to even own * Mock the "From" header for thousand of typical spam messages with the gmail account address, send them to destinations that are sure to pass through Spamhaus & co.'s filters * Fill the user's inbox to capacity; e.g., sign up for Quora with the gmail address in question Certainly on the gray hat side of things, but asking Google to delete an email isn't exactly kosher to begin with.
