What a moron... All he had to do was serve 21 months in a minimum security "country club" prison, and he flees from it.

Once they catch him, they'll now tack on 5 years of prison time at a much more strict institution for that.

The man known as "The Spam King" walked away from a minimum-security federal prison in Florence on Sunday and was last seen in Lakewood.

Edward "Eddie" Davidson, 35, was sentenced in April to serve 21 months in prison for his role in sending hundreds of thousands of unsolicited fraudulent e-mails touting certain penny stocks as excellent investments. Davidson also was ordered to pay $714,139 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and to forfeit gold coins and other property he purchased with ill-gotten gains.

A pity about the family.

As to the Spammer, well, good. The only good spammer is a dead spammer.
