Man sentenced to nine years in first spamming felony case | |
|

Prosecutors said Jeremy Jaynes used the Internet to peddle pornography and sham products and services such as a "FedEx refund processor," and at the time of his arrest was considered among the top 10 spammers in the world. Thousands of people fell for his e-mails, and prosecutors said Jaynes' operation grossed up to $750,000 per month. Jaynes, 30, was convicted in November for using false Internet addresses and aliases to send mass e-mail ads through an AOL server in Loudoun County, where America Online is based. Under Virginia law, sending unsolicited bulk e-mail itself is not a crime unless the sender masks his identity. | ||

"up to $750,000 per month"
And they wonder why so many people get into spamming! I'd be happy with just one month's salary! "Under Virginia law, sending unsolicited bulk e-mail itself is not a crime unless the sender masks his identity." I love it when they need to find some obscure part of some law to exploit to be able to find someone guilty. I'm sure there's some law out there somewhere which wouldn't have saved him had he not masked his identity. |

Well, obvioiusly they were trying to protect companies against abusing email.
It seems to me that besides masking his identity, he was also involved in fraud. Anyway good deal... the more people like this you toss in the pokey the better things will be./ |

"The pokey" *chuckle*
Haven't heard that term in awhile. Most of the time I hear the "Office Space"-esque "Federal Pound-me-in-the-*** Prison". |

The appeal should be thrown out and he should do the 9 years in a real hard ass prison.
No parole should be given. |

| How about he gets a punch in the gut from each person that received a piece of spam from him? |

| Dang....I just found out the job of prison chaplain was taken...I was looking forward to presiding over his nuptials to a couple of bulls in block 6A and B. |
