SPYWARE, SPAM & PHISHING --Prolific Spammer Sentenced to Prison (July
23, 2008)

Robert Alan Soloway has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal
prison for sending millions of spam emails. Soloway was also ordered to
forfeit more than US $700,000 he made from his scheme. He has previously
been sued in civil court for spamming, and owes civil penalties totaling
more than US $17 million. Soloway used a program called Dark Mailer to
send out the spam that promoted his business selling spamming software.

escape.)))
