NJ Spammer Gets Two Years Jail for AOL Spam Scam

Tech.Luver writes "A man from New Jersey has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for sending more than a million spam messages to AOL users. 'Todd Moeller was sentenced ... after he was caught making a deal with a government informant to send junk e-mails advertising a computer security program in return for 50 percent of the profits ... Moeller told the informant via instant messaging he could conceal the source of the e-mails through his access to 40 different servers and had profited $40,000 a month from other spam e-mail scams that promoted stocks, prosecutors said.'"

Yeah buddy, ain't that the truth, two years in prison is just a prepertaion for what the IRS is going to do. We had an IRS CID agent come to the office looking for every check the accountant had ever written, she was seriously scarey and I've worked with FBI, BATF, and DEA. After they add up the back taxes, interest and penalties at $40K per month for 7 years and throw him back in prison for tax evasion he'll be saying "Bubba you were always so good to me, you always smuggled a little butter out of the mess hall to use before you play hide the balonna, those IRS meaners just dry-hump you till you bleed to death ..."
