Not the beginning, actually -- he's not the first scammer/spammer to be arrested. This is another in a long happy trend of eliminating these bastages, though. :) I almost feel honored -- I've gotten e-mails from this guy. Wow.

I've not seen many Nigerian check refund scammers jailed.

The prosecution said when Okoeguale was arrested he had floppy disks which could scan websites for e-mail addresses and for sending "spam" messages.
Oooh, floppy disks. Hmmm. That's a dead giveaway. :D

I love reading news stories with tech content written by reporters who don't have a clue.
