Spam Lawyers

Don’t launder funds for your clients!  The News & Observer reports that former US Attorney and Jesse Helms protégé Sam Currin recently pled guilty to lying to a federal grand jury, obstructing the IRS and conspiring to launder $1.3 million for a spammer.  That spammer is Jeremy Jaynes, whose recent conviction under Virginia’s criminal anti-spam statute I posted about several months ago here. 

Junkfax  [via The Spam Diaries] has an extremely detailed web page collecting information on Jaynes’s operation.  It’s well worth reading, if nothing just to get a flavor of the people and personalities involved.  According to Junkfax "Jeremy lists his net worth at $24 million and he was making at least $500K/mo in his spamming business before being arrested."
