Spammer Scott Levine Convicted

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the into-the-big-house dept.

bani writes "Spammer Scott Levine was convicted of massive data theft from Acxiom Corporation. Prosecutors say his company, the now-defunct Snipermail.com, stole 1.6 billion customer records from Acxiom and sold the data. He faces a maximum of 640 years in prison under the law, though he will likely be sentenced to far less. One spammer down, several million to go?"

    This is definitely off-topic but I will ask never the less.

    There are individuals sentenced to [jail] terms far exceeding the time they are expected to be alive.

    Does the state keep their bodies once they die in jail in order to meet the terms of the sentence?

    Iran and Venezeula getting very interesting, and still an ever growing pile of bodies in Iraq, it's disgusting what fails to make our mainstream media.

    What possible reason would you have for expecting better? Are you 20 years old?
