   Deterrent ?

   I do wonder, however, if the punishment really fits the crime.

   I guess this depends on whether you see the sentence as only a punishment or being used as an example for deterring others.
   I also understand that particular topic is a really big can of worms, best left alone.

   Spam is an annoyance but hardly a crime punishable by these ludicrous sentences.

   These weren't spammers. They were both scams ripping people off from their money.

   Now if I went to the bank and stole a half million dollars, I'd probably get alot more time then 4 - 5 years. The sad thing is they will probably be out in six months with some probation.
