Where there is crime, there is a victim, or so the adage goes, and in this case, you’re likely one of the victims yourself. Eddie Davidson was the spam king of Louisville until he was caught in 2007, and he was sentenced today to 21 months in a federal PMITA prison.
Davidson sent out millions of spams, from fake rolexes to junk stocks. He was convicted on tax charges and for falsifying header information in emails. Oh, and fined almost three-quarters of a million bucks.

Is it years or months? The fact is, the title or the text is inducing in error and should be corrected. This is not a newspaper, so you can correct it.
I would not like to be reading a news site where the titles are wrong just to attract readers.

Falsifying headers in emails is a crime? I wonder if they will allow him computer access in prison
