Spam king Robert Soloway was sentenced this week to 47 months in prison for sending more than 90 million junk e-mail messages over a three month period. Meanwhile, federal authorities are searching for a spammer who walked away from a prison camp on Sunday. Soloway pleaded guilty in March to mail fraud, and tax evasion. A federal judge still must decide how much restitution he will pay. In other news, Edward “Eddie” Davidson, a 35-year-old stock spammer who was sentenced in April to 21 months in prison, escaped from a prison camp in Florence, Colo., this week. According to this Associated Press story, Davidson was last seen roughly 90 miles north of the camp in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.
