How is that a problem for anyone but Twitter?

(Coincidentally, I happened to be discussing the Twitter
fake accounts problem with some other folks recently.  One
guy who works for a security firm claims to have spotted
one set of around 200,000 of them.  I myself saw someone
on a hacker forum claiming to have just simply "bought"
30,000 Twitter followers.  My reaction to both of these
bits of news is just to yawn.  I don't see how any of it
affects -me-.  This is Twitter's problem.  It's their
walled garden.  If they elect not to properly police it,
well then, as the old saying goes, they are shitting where
they eat, and it will catch up to them eventually.  As long
as they are not sending spam -to me- ... which they aren't...
I don't see why I should give a damn.)

Personally, I've never seen a single piece of *email* spam
from Twitter.  So this is news to me.  Can you post a sample
please?
