    Well, obviously he is not just a guy sending junk emails to drive traffic to his site, he is one of the world's top 10 spammer according to MSN. Interesting article, someone link it please.

    I saw that on another site. I'm glad this guy got into trouble, but 65 years? Some types of murder are lucky to put somebody behind bars for 20. I guess when they get ya, they get ya good! :D

    Finally!
    I hope that this seriously decreases the amount of spam i am receiving every day. I've got three business email accounts and they receive in access for 400+ spam emails a day.

    Btw, here is the list of top 10 spammers:
