> Jeremy Jaynes, 30, is the first person in the US to get a prison term in a spam case. He is said to have been the world’s eighth most prolific spammer.

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

Not a bad haul, but I don’t think I’d want to go to prision…
