–Two Convicted Under CAN-SPAM
(June 26, 2007)
A federal jury has convicted two men on multiple charges relating to a spam operation advertising pornographic web sites. Jeffrey Kilbride and
James Schaffer earned US $2 million in commission for setting up the scheme. Kilbride and Shaffer were among the first people to be charged under the CAN-SPAM Act. The charges of which they were found guilty include money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. Sentencing has been set for September, 2007; the pair could face five years in prison for each
CAN-SPAM offense and fines of up to US $500,000. Three accomplices have already entered guilty pleas.
