America's first convicted felony spammer may finally be on his way to prison.More here.
The Virginia Court of Appeals Tuesday upheld the November 2004 conviction of Jeremy Jaynes, who was charged with three counts of using deceptive routing information in sending bulk commercial e-mail.
Although prosecutors sought a 15-year jail term for Jaynes, a Loudon County, Va., jury sentenced him to nine years in prison. Virginia Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne allowed Jaynes to remain free on a $1 million bond until his appeal could be heard.
According to the evidence presented at the trial, Jaynes, 32, grossed more than $24 million in various e-mail scams.
