"Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the serves-him-right dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Howard Carmak, aka the 'Buffalo spammer,' has been sentenced to jail time for his spamming activities. Interestingly, the conviction was not for spamming per se, but rather stealing someone's identity, which he then used to launch his spam messages."

    Well, let us hope sincerly that none of the inmates used any of his 'bigger penis' products that he advertised :)

    If they did, and it worked, poor old Mr Buffalo will probably end up with an asshole the size of a buffalo :)

    "Gee thanks Mr Buffalo! I bought your bigger penis products! Now bend over beatch, and I'll show you *just* how big and wide it is"

    Ah hahahahahh aaaahhhh :)

    Sweet Justice :)

    Seriously though...

    This has nothing to do with spam laws. Plain and simple identity theft prosocution.

    Wake me up when he is prosocuted for breaking the CAN-SPAM act, he is asking for the additional penalty sections.

    umm... is this thing on?

    He regrets selling those penis enhancements now.
