Got ‘em!
In a criminal prosecution of spam distributors, a brother and sister from North Carolina have been found guilty of three felony charges each of sending hundreds of thousands of spam messages to AOL subscribers.
They were convicted under a Virginia state law that bars the sending of bulk e-mails using fake addresses. Jurors recommended that Jeremy Jaynes, serve nine years in prison and that Jessica DeGroot, be fined $7,500.
The e-mails advertised penny stocks, low mortgage rates and software to erase internet browsing records. A "Fed-Ex refund processor" was supposed to allow people to earn $75 an hour working from home. His sister helped him process credit card payments.
They received almost $24 million in sales

Oh I'm liking this story a whole lot!  I just hope they remember to ban their computer use in the prison library.  |

I just wish they BOTH could spend the prison time in a cell together, that was made of 4, wall size, monitor screens that refreshed 24/7 with ONLY spam.

PantyFanatic,
I like the poetic justice in your sentencing.
