Robert Soloway, one of the spam kings who'd been among the first sued by Microsoft, had been accused of using a network of hijacked PCs to send out millions of spam messages, as well as harvesting thousands of e-mail address that he used to advertise bogus e-mail services.

Robert Soloway pleaded guilty in court from charges of mail fraud, e-mail fraud, and tax evasion (that's a biggie). Due to him pleading guilty, he will still not be charged easy as he had stolen and scammed over $2 Million out of spam and scams. He is still under investigation with this and we all hope that he gets what he deserves. The court still has not decided on the penalties and cost he will be charged with.

That is good news, but for the bad news, Eddie Davidson, the former "spam king" has escaped from Colorado Jail. SO far the last reporting of him being last seen was 90 miles north of the Florence, Colorado minimum-security prison camp where he'd been serving a 21-month sentence.

These guys are not kiddies, Soloway and Davidson were two highly professional spammers that could rake in a lot of money for themselves and cover up their tracks. Now we will see just how well they will be able to cover their tracks in the real world and not virtual world.
