Got this story in my morning Emarkerter email.

Quote
You've Gotten Arrested
If you're an AOL member who is receiving a lot of spam, Jason Smathers of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is at least partly to blame. Smathers, who until this week worked for America Online, sold 92 million AOL screen names to a Las Vegas spammer (Sean Dunaway, who has been arrested along with Smathers). Though he accessed the names, zip codes and other information from the AOL servers, he was not able to take any credit card numbers. Dunaway resold the list to other spammers at a later date. Both face up to five years in jail in addition to fines. The sale was discovered by AOL as part of a spam investigation.


We have a name, and hopefully a new address, i.e. the West Virginia Penal System. Anyone want to volunteer to break this motherfucker's kneecaps?

After a few weeks of trading some Smather-love for a few cigarettes, he'll get the message.

Personally I think everybody on AOL who gets Spam should be able to sue this guy to the point that even when he gets out of jail he'll have no money and will never again be able to be a productive member of society. Let him end up under a bridge somewhere with no teeth and his skin rotting off.

lawsuits are based on damages. Until we agree to some sort of 'tax' or 'postage stamp' on our emails, we cant sue spammers because its not against the law to annoy you.

Time is Money.

As proved by the annual cost to american companys in employees who have to take time to sift through all that shit.

Saw some shots of that Smathers guy on the news tonight.  Looks like a pretty buff guy -- perhaps he knew he'd eventually get busted and hit the weights early to prepare for shower gangbangs.
