You know what is disturbing about this? A 9 year sentence with a VERY flimsy, circumstantial evidence case. They based this on 55,472 emails sent over a 3 day period? Is that a typo? Because someone could manually send more than that in an hour. And a handwritten note about needing proxies? That's really reaching.

I'm sure they had other documentation, but from what I read, the prosecution got a whole lot of something out of a whole lot of nothing. I can't imagine what others would be sentenced to, if they had far more incriminating evidence and charges against them.

I don't know what those (3) have/had set up offshore as far as money and assets, but this doesn't even mention the inevitable judgments AOL will have against them, based on very weak, circumstantial evidence.

This just goes to show you, how corrupt the system and their political pocket stuffers are. AOL Time Warner owns a big chunk of the US, with or without being an ISP. The governor of Virginia, Mark R. Warner. Warners are crawling all over the senate and so on and so on. Where are the antitrust suits against AOL Time Warner? I guess no one sees any conflict of interests in any of that though.

If people start receiving felony convictions based on "3 days of spamming", there will be waiting lines just to start serving your sentence.
