DMNews: 'Buffalo Spammer' Busted

For all the press that this has attracted you'd think that they had captured Buffalo Bill of Silence of the Lambs fame.

Howard Carmack, aka the "Buffalo Spammer," was arrested on four felony and two misdemeanor counts yesterday.

Carmack's arrest, the first under New York's recently enacted identity theft statute, stems from charges that he stole people's identities to open fraudulent Internet access accounts used to send hundreds of millions of spam e-mails since March 2002.
