[pchelpers] News:Spammer slips out of slammer

As prison breaks go, it wouldn’t make much of a TV drama. Edward
Davidson, 35, one of the pretenders to the “Spam King” throne, was six
weeks into a 21-month stay at a minimum-security federal prison in
Florence, Colo., for bombarding in-boxes with fraudulent penny-stock
spam when he decided confinement didn’t agree with him and made his move
when his wife came to visit Tuesday. “He jumped in the car with his
wife,” said Will Cochenour of the local police. “When they were leaving,
he forced her in the car, brought them home and left after a change in
clothing. He’s still at large.” The overall number of Spam Kings in
confinement remained stable, however, as a federal judge in Seattle
sentenced Robert Alan Soloway, 28, to nearly four years in prison.
Soloway pleaded guilty to fraud and tax charges arising from the spam he
sent on behalf of his products, which, fittingly enough, were spam
software and services.
