Go Directly to Jail…Do Not Collect $200
Crime does not pay, kiddies, and apparently neither does spamming. The proclaimed “spam king”, Robert Soloway, recently pleaded guilty to fraud in connection with email, felony mail fraud, and failing to file a tax return, as report in the Seattle Times recently.
In a plea deal with the federal prosecutors, they agree to drop 37 counts against him, including aggravated identity theft and money laundering - in exchange for his guilty plea for one count of spamming, mail fraud, and failing to file a tax return.
Mr. Soloway will have plenty of time to catch up with his email, as the charges he will be facing add up to 20 years in jail and up to $625,000 in fines.
