Man Gets 30 Months for Spamming

Posted on by Chief Marketer Staff

A New York man was sentenced to 30 months in jail by a federal court earlier this week for sending unsolicited commercial e-mail to 1.2 million AOL subscribers.

U.S. district judge Denny Chin on Tuesday also ordered Adam Vitale, 27, of Brooklyn to pay AOL $180,000.

In 2005, Brooklyn resident Vitale and Todd Moeller of New Jersey, were caught making a deal with a government informant to send spam advertising a security computer program to nearly 1.3 million AOL subscribers.

Vitale pleaded guilty to spamming charges last year.

Moeller was sentenced to 27 months in jail last November.
