Spammer gets up to 26 years prison!
By WebMaster April 1st, 2008
Speaking of spam, Robert Soloway, the man authorities had dubbed “the king of spam” is facing a possible 26 year jail sentence after pleading guilty to charges of fraud and tax evasion. Apparently, Soloway raked in more than $300,000 from his spam operations in 2005 and failed to file either a state or federal tax return in his home state of Washington.
Soloway is accused of using a database of 157 Million email addresses to send out spam e-mails using a botnet. The prosecution is also seeking more than $700,000 in damages.
