US Internet ‘Spam King’ arrested
A huge US email spammer has been arrested and if convicted as charged, he will face a maximum sentence of more than 65 years in prison and a fine of 250,000 dollars.
Robert Soloway, 27, was arrested in Seattle, Washington, a week after being indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of identity theft, money laundering, and mail, wire, and e-mail fraud.
“Spam is a scourge of the Internet, and Robert Soloway is one of its most prolific practitioners,” said US Attorney for the Western District of Washington Jeffrey Sullivan.
