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.'"
who just got a 9-year jail term recommendation from the state jury
9 years in the slammer getting unsolicited gifts from Bubba? Wow! I bet at least one of the jurors purchased a penis enlarger and, let's say, wasn't totally satisfied with the results...
"A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of" - Ogden Nash
Prosecutors don't know how he got the lists, though McGuire said the AOL names matched a list of 92 million addresses an AOL software engineer has been charged with stealing. However Jaynes got them, they were particularly valuable because AOL customers and eBay users by their very nature have already shown a willingness to engage in e-commerce.
Or particularly valuable because AOL users are, well, AOL users?
And to think... only 9 years in jail. I'd do it too. Get out of jail at age 29, still young enough to marry, have kids
... and just think how handy all that ass raping experience will be on your honeymoon.
I haven't had any problem with spam for years.

...but no one else seems to agree with me that convicted email spammers should be slowly tortured to death.
STOP MISUSING APOSTROPHES, YOU MORONS!!!
I think he used to beat me up in highschool :(
I bet he's now praying that none of his fellow inmates have purchased penis enlargement pills.
Si tacuisses philosophus mansisses. If you had kept quiet, you would have remained a philosopher.
You sir, are an idiot. The first paragraph of your link backs up what he posted.
I can just see it now the next big SPAM message to be making the rounds: You too can be making $300,000 to $750,000 a month for only a few minutes a day - just buy this simple software that makes it all happen while you sleep. Be in quick and we will throw in a free bottle of viagra.
He could definitely use a makeover. Either in Photoshop or Bubba Eye for the Spammer Guy.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
I wish I could pull in between $30,000 and $750,000 per month while keeping my spending below $50,000 (per month).
I think I can help you out. Send me $50,000 every month and I will send you $30,000 back.
EARN $300,000 to $750,000 PER MONTH working from the PRIVACY of your own HOME!!!!

Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud.
He made himself rich
And he stole from the dumb
But now he's called 'Bitch'
As he's suckin' his thumb.
A hundred different ways
To get a shiv in the ribs,
A hundred different inmates,
Each shouting: "Dibs!"
The story of "The Spammer"
Was so previously sad
But with this new ending...
Well...
This one ain't that bad.
It's a start anyway.
I have little to say, but even less to lose by saying it.
are you joking? first you spam the living day lights out of people, become a millionaire, then *if* you get caught and sent to jail, you will get free food, housing and quality sex. sounds like a sweet deal to me
And PT Barnum's top competitor said, "There's a sucker born every minute." I've pretty much lost hope for the species.

feh. stuff.
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and delete the email." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Spamming." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things.
How come spam doesn't burn out like a pyramid scheme?
The stupid breed.
Hey, with all that spam for viagra, penis enlargement and porn paysites, it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
