I disagree with that. There still has been no spam over Tor in the
scenario you described. Rather someone has logged into a system over
Tor and used _that_ system to send spam. I'm not saying Tor would not
have been used in any way by the person in this scenario. I am saying
that no spam was sent over Tor in what you described. You could also
claim by your logic to have shown that the statement that there is no
spam over HTTPS is history.
