Spam King Busted by Secret Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we're-going-to-have-to-ask-you-to-come-with-us dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Adam Vitale, aka Batch1 aka Baxter, 25, of Boynton Beach, FL, and his partner Todd Moeller, aka M3rk, of New Jersey, are accused of sending nearly 50,000 pieces of spam e-mail to more than 1.2 million AOL subscribers. US Secret Service agents used a confidential informant to hire Moeller and Vitale to deliver spam, which advertised a computer security product."

    I hope, for his sake, his cellmate hasn't been taking some of the other pills this guy was selling. On second thought, I hope he has.
