Spammers Get Nailed in Virginia
Nine Years. They gave him nine years for sending spam. Now I hate spam, have even changed my ISP once over it. But nine years? That seems an awful long sentence considering the crime. Maybe I'm missing something. Were people scammed out of their life fortunes? Was anybody physically assaulted? Simply annoying someone should not be cause to go to jail for nine years. I respect the American justice system for how it treats violent offenders but the system is seriously flawed when it comes to drugs and fraud.
