'Spam King' Released From Prison, Now Lives In Seattle

Posted by timothy on from the stocks-and-pillories-by-pike-place-market-please dept.

dmmiller2k writes "Apparently, after 'nearly four years in prison, the man dubbed the 'Spam King' by federal prosecutors, is allowed back online.' I wonder if there's some variation of Megan's Law requiring him to register with the local police department and notify all his neighbors with computers?" I sure hope any potential employers google "Robert Soloway" and find "Spam king" high on the results list.

    FTFA:

    As part of his plea deal, probation officers will monitor every e-mail Soloway sends and every webpage he visits for the next three years.

    Oh how I would torture them...

    I sure hope any potential employers google "Robert Soloway" and find "Spam king" high on the results list.

    The only way that could happen is if a bunch of people all put the words "Robert Soloway" and "Spam king" together on a major website that Google crawls.

    Doesn't seem likely...

    Cause someone sending out spams is equivalent to raping children.

    (Actually, most people on the Megan's Law list are folks who got caught peeing behind a bar -- er, exposed themselves to children who live in ally ways.)
