Scott Levine (spammer) might get 640 years in jail
 

the guy from Snipermail .. and h will also get a $40 mill fine
saw it in a danish newspaper today

640 years :(

... do he then get our in 320 years if he behaves well?

640 years is rough.

120 years sounds plenty fair.

that's crazy :helpme

people will live longer in future, they just want to make sure he doesnt get out ;)

Just shoot em.
Keeping em alive is a waist of food.

Harsh :Oh crap

they should make him apologize to everyone he mailed to
in person

god he would hurt quite a bit

I really dont think thats such a bad idea..

A hand written 100 word letter to each person he emailed.. That should only take a few years or so..

640 for spamming? What do murderers get in Denmark?

the guy is from florida :winkwink:

Killing in denmark will put you away for 3-30 years... most get less than 10

D'OH!

FL? . . fire up Ol' Sparky

no way he will do more than a few years

If just ends up doing 20 years its ok and nice :)

That is so cool!!!

I cant wait to see wich "daddys" girl he will end up as inside prison!

While I think some spammers should get jail time, that is insane.
5-10 for the worst offenders should be sufficient.

jail time for mailing ? :helpme

No, not just mailing.

anybody got the link to this story?

his life is over you could say

Do you have a news post for this?

This guy is not getting jail time for "spamming", he's getting a harsh sentence for stealing customer data which contained credit cards etc...

He should be forced to read load every single email he sent.
Then released and forced to work, rest of his life, with sorting out spam emails manually for one of the bigger ISPs :)

putting him in jail is stupid. making him apologize to each and every person he spammed is much better, yet a bit impossible unless he still has his email lists. then he could sell them on ebay to pay his fines.

see my sig

P.S FUCK ANTI SPAMMERS

thank
StatsJunky he posted it

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Not one person on the internet would care if they never recieved another spam mail again.

Everyone knows spam is worse than murder.

Seriously, WTF?

The best part about this whole mailing situation is people speak as if he is being punished in too harsh a way.

Is he??? It doesnt' really matter what you or I think. This is the punishment for this crime. He did what he wanted to do, now it's time to pay the price for it. If you knew it was a 5 year sentance for spitting on the sidewalk would you do it? and if you did would you then cry about it. Fuck it , he was dumb enough to break the law, lock him up and keep him there, be very public about it Rinse and Repeat. Fuck people who don't mail properly.

:thumbsup

knowing the american jail system he will be out in a year

Hope he has lots of fun in jail and that he doesn't even get a chance to get on probation :)

You can spam all you want as long as the mailing are CAN-SPAM compliant and you aren't using tricks to defeat e-mail filters :thumbsup

Well, take for example Jeremy Jaynes (The spammer that *supposedly* got 9 years)
Funny how AOL published he got nine years, but they didn't publish that his sentencing was deferred the guy is living in a country club on house arrest,he is allowed out daily to run errands and he appealed the case..

other things too?personally I dont think spamming should have ANY jailtime, why worry about spammers when we have rapeists, murderers, child molestors? maybe a fine for spamming about all

Wow, I thought spam laws were only in America
