[MOPO] But does he get to keep the 24 million?

[J R]

Something of note:   Last month's conviction in Leesburg, Virginia of a 30-year-old Raleigh, North Carolina, man and his sister was the first ever felony conviction for violation of anti-spam laws in the United States. The jury found Jeremy Jaynes and his sister, Jessica DeGroot, guilty on three felony charges and recommended a nine-year prison sentence for Jaynes. The recent nine-day trial shed light on the Jaynes' operation. Using many aliases, including Jeremy James and Gaven Stubberfield, Jaynes sent out at least ten million e-mail messages a day using sixteen high speed Internet lines. Despite making money on only one in every 30,000 or so e-mail messages, the business raked in up to $750,000 per month. Although Jaynes constantly tweaked and rotated his bogus product offerings, the trial centered around software, work-at-home, and pornography scams. Prosecutors alleged that Jaynes amassed a fortune of twenty-four million dollars through his scam/spam operation.   -- JR Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
