Meet Millionaire Spammer Jeremy Jaynes
prostoalex writes "Associated Press profiles Jeremy Jaynes, charged with sending out unsolicited e-mail messages, who just got a 9-year jail term recommendation from the state jury. With the help of 16 'high-speed' lines (Associated Press probably meant T1s) Jaynes would send out 10 million e-mails a day. His best month in terms of gross income netted him $750,000. Acccording to the article, 'In a typical month, prosecutors said during the trial, Jaynes might receive 10,000 to 17,000 credit card orders, thus making money on perhaps only one of every 30,000 e-mails he sent out. But he earned $40 a pop, and the undertaking was so vast that Jaynes could still pull in $400,000 to $750,000 a month, while spending perhaps $50,000 on bandwidth and other overhead, McGuire said. "When you're marketing to the world, there are enough idiots out there" who will be suckered in, McGuire said in an interview.'"

I think this would be a good time for all of /. to chip some money, and buy penis enlargement pills for his cell mate. I for one, would be statisfied with even a small increase in the girth of the sexual organ of whoever was giving his ass the sort of treatment that he gave the Internet on a daily basis.
Oh, yeah, and we also need to get his cell mate as much viagra as possible...
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
There is no punishment too hideous for spammers.
I hope they're treated in prison the same as child molesters.
"We'll give you 9 years... in the electric chair... and then we will hang you..."
The death penalty is overused in the US, and illegal pretty much anywhere except the Middle East & Asia, but the death penalty for spammers would be a good idea!
Heh, critisize, that's a good one.
Unamerican traitor. If you don't like things the way they are, get out.
America: Love it or leave it.
It's been a long time.
