Phisher Jeffrey Goodin sentenced to 70 months
In January I reported that Jeffrey Goodin had been convicted under
CAN-SPAM. It is believed this is the first person every convicted in a
jury trial for CAN-SPAM violations.
Yesterday, LawFuel Newswire reported that Goodin has been sentenced to
70 months in the federal slammer. In addition, he's being ordered to
pay over $1 million to the victims of his phishing schemes, most of it
to Earthlink.
After being indicted, Goodin harassed an individual who had been
cooperating the authorities. While waiting for trial, Goodin failed to
appear at a hearing, causing the FBI to track him down under a
failure-to-appear warrant.
See articles in LawFuel and Information Week for more details.
