Virginia authorities arrested Thursday a man they say is one of the world's top 10 spammers. Prosecutors said it is the first felony arrest for sending unwanted commercial e-mail
Jeremy Jaynes, 29, was arrested at his North Carolina home.
Police: World's Top Spammer Arrested
He was charged with a felony for sending more than 10,000 fraudulent e-mails in a 24-hour period. He faces four counts, each of which could carry a five-year prison sentence.
Virginia authorities said Jaynes used America Online's network to send the e-mail. AOL is based in Virginia.
Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore said that the company received enough customer complaints about the mail to raise the charges to the felony level.
AOL has said that it blocks 2 billion pieces of spam each day.
Jaynes was indicted under a state law that took effect July 1.
Good job Sorrow, it's about time they started really cracking down on spam as it is getting way out of control.
