Todd Moeller, 28, was sentenced to 27 months behind bars and fined $180,000 at a sentencing hearing last Friday after he admitted offences against US anti-spam legislation.
Moeller and partner in crime Adam Vitale, who faces a sentencing hearing on 13 November, were caught in a sting operation after they offered to bombard 1.2m AOL members with junk mail. The duo previously boasted that they could send spam runs without risk of detection.
