CNET: North Carolina man sentenced to 9 years for spam

Jeremy Jaynes was sentenced to nine years in jail by a Virginia court for sending out too many unsolicited commercial messages and doing so with fake email addresses. His sister, Jessica DeGroot was found guilty as well, getting away with only a $7,500 fine. Another man charged, Richard Rutkowski, was found not guilty. The Spamhaus Project had ranked Jaynes as the eighth worst spammer in the world at the time of his arrest last year.
