Lengthly jail terms. Nine years for this guy!

Lets hope this starts a trend so individual computer users can stop bidding for swords on eBay.

Hmm . . . I prefer indeterminate sentencing in such cases - something along the lines of the following: place the prisoner's release documents in a small, well-sealed container, which you then bury deep within a mound of bull manure the size of Pike's Peak; and then instruct the prisoner to get crackin' if he wants out of prison any time before the universe collapses. Do you think he might begin to appreciate how annoying it is to sift through so much bs just to get what you're actually looking for?

Hi all,

I fear this might have the opposite result than the one intended. Most people of that mind set IMO will see the amount he made in one month as an attractive goal, and think they can get away with it long enough to get rich and solve all their problems.

By selling sham products and services advertised in his messages, he earned up to $750,000 (£398,000) per month

The sentence needs to very severe if it is going to serve as any kind of a deterrent.
