First Convicted Spammer Gets 9 Years

[IGBT]

Text
LEESBURG, Va. - He was once considered among the top 10 spammers in the world, using the Internet to peddle pornography and sham products and services like the "FedEx refunding processor," prosecutors say. Convicted in the nation's first felony case against illegal spamming, Jeremy Jaynes, 30, on Friday was sentenced to nine years in prison for bombarding Internet users with the junk e-mails.

I just hope this frightens other spammers.
But they are usually cocky people.

On Jaynes's first full day in prison...

Prisoner 1 eyes Jaynes warily, untrusting of newcomers.
Prisoner 1: Lesson one, noob. Don't f%* with me. I killed 4 men with the sharpened end of a wooden leg 'fore they caught me and put me in here.
Jaynes: Oh...ok. I'm not looking for trouble.
Prisoner 1: Yeah, you best not be. So, what're you in for?
Jaynes: 9 years for porn e-mail spamming.
Prisoner 1 draws away in terror.
Prisoner 1: S^*t, n%**a! You hardcore!

Yeah.. MySpace

"Latest Update: 10:32AM PST, Friday, April 01th. OK. So lately a lot of you have probably noticed the annoying spammers that have invaded MySpace. We've been deleting the spam which means the counts in your mailbox and friend request box may be innaccurate. You may also be getting notifications for mails that don't exist, because someone spams you and we delete their account (and their messages) before you get it. You'll also see a lot of scandalous pics in Browse with dead profiles. We already busted one foolio and he's awaiting sentencing .. he's 18 and he's facing jailtime for this. So, hopefully we'll be able to come up with some better technical solutions to prevent spam, and the spammers will realize that we will prosecute them."
