My last post on this item was May 31, 2007, the month Soloway was arrested. Several months later, after pleading guilty to fraud and tax evasion charges, Soloway is due to be sentenced 20 June, 2008.

The notorious spammer has previously been found guilty of sending spam in several civil cases, Microsoft won a $7.8m judgement against him back in 2005, but he’s always avoided paying fines.

According to his lawyers, the only assets are a collection of two dozens pairs of expensive sunglasses valued at more than $3,700, 27 pairs of shoes, and clothing worth about $14,200.
