Spam News
by Sue Walsh on July 11, 2008
Notorious spammer Robert Alan Soloway is facing 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count each of mail fraud, email fraud, and tax evasion. He also faces nearly $300,000 in fines. He was originally indicted on over 40 criminal charges including wire fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft. From 1997 to 2007 Soloway ran Newport Marketing, which sold spamming services and software that enabled others to spam. Among the services he offered was a $495 package that promised the purchaser that their ad would be sent to 20 million email addresses in 15 days. Soloways attorney is arguing that his client deserves leniency and that the medications he takes for several mental disorders including Oppositional Defiant Disorder are at least partly to blame for his actions.
