Could be discussed on Spam-L rather than here, but I believe you're talking about EasEye (no "y" in the middle); it's an ESP from Shanghai, noticeable in China. Do you need to know something about them, or are you just stating they don't respect best practices --or laws?

Speaking of, has anyone heard of a player using Chinese IP space called EasyEye, using 118.192.64.0/21 IP Space? So far, only seen them in spam reports, but they might be a new player..
