    Spammer Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison

    By CAROLYN THOMPSON, Associated Press Writer

    BUFFALO, N.Y. - A man who sent 850 million junk e-mails through accounts he opened with stolen identities was sentenced to up to seven years in prison on Thursday.

    Atlanta-based Internet service provider Earthlink Inc. said it hoped the sentence and an earlier $16.4 million civil judgment against Howard Carmack will deter other spammers.

    "Before spammers send one more spam e-mail, we think they should remember that what happened to Howard Carmack can happen to them," said Karen Casion, Earthlink's assistant general counsel.

    Jurors sentenced Carmack to seven years for convictions in March of forgery, identity theft and falsifying business records. He must serve a minimum 3 1/2 years.

    Earthlink said Carmack ran 343 illegal e-mail accounts under false names from 2002 until his arrest last May, using them to send unsolicited e-mail ads for things like get-rich-quick schemes and sexual enhancers.

    Carmack told the judge he believed the case against him was overblown, saying there were no victims. "I obviously regret this whole involvement," he said.

    Carmack was convicted of defrauding EarthLink and eight men from New York, Ohio and Washington, D.C. Last May, the company won a $16.4 million civil judgment against Carmack.

  6. teegee, what is with your post count?


    I don't normally hand out Honorary Doctorates in Post-Whoring, but she-it man! You're post count is climbing faster than Capmaster's inflatable goat after a helium binge! :P

    (Well, at least 50% of what you post is helpful to others. That's more than I can say for myself, especially since nobody's ever figured out a way to divide by zero yet... )

    No problem. As Dr. WankHer explained in his research report Your Kid Is Fat Because He Super-Sizes His Big Mac Meal there is no such thing as too much posting on videohelp.com. So long as some basic guidelines are followed:

    * You avoid Doin' the Phunkie Monkey in the test forum,
    * You flame dumbass newbies when necessary,
    * You show proper respect to your fellow Red Wingers,
    * You wear the badge of the Off-Topic hobo with pride,
    * You insult offline when appropriate,
    * You worship Baldrick as if he was a sixer of Honey Brown,
    * You wipe your own ass.

    And always remember what Indolikaa says...

    "Putting quantity over quality. One post at a time."

    TeeGee has a rocket strapped to his ass with that post count. If I were keeping score I think I'd be looking for a sharp object to fall down on right about now. But Indo's class taught us that we can all be post whores, with equally compromised ethics ....just as long as we don't stoop to the repetitive posting in the test forum. That's too low even for us

    I try to limit my use of that one too. The poster above you I don't always like either. I can't stay at two choices because I can't type and post fast enough, especially with Gitreel there

    Speaking of that thread, you need to explain your last post because I don't know what the **** you're talking about.

    Wha, me?

    Are you suggesting I'm the type of person who would sneak in a 'dumbass ' post right before a moderator locks the thread?!

  22. I remember one occasion when I saw you, northcat_8 and Capmaster browsing the forum just as I was about to lock a topic so I left it open for 5 minutes just to see the results.

    You three must have been distracted though because nothing eventuated.
