Guilty of violations of Can-SPAM, transportation of obscene materials, and money laundering.
The money Laundering by itself is up to 20 years. The Can Spams are 5 years each. THe obscenity I am not sure of. 8 counts total, the real "up to" could be 50 years or more done consecutively, which I am sure isn't what happened.
I am surprised there isn't a whole big stink about this. After all, the "transportation of obscene material" is a really big deal,essentially showing that moving this material over the net is apparently a crime.
I would think that some of the others on trial for obscenity charges are likely NOT happy to have seen this conviction.
