Trial of 'Spam King' Postponed Until January

David Bowermaster writes in The Seattle Times:

The federal trial of Robert Soloway, the man dubbed the "spam king" for his practice of sending millions of unwanted e-mails around the world, has been postponed until Jan. 7.

The trial originally had been scheduled to begin Aug. 6, but U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman granted a continuance Wednesday after receiving a joint request last week from Soloway's attorney, Richard Troberman, and assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Warma.

Soloway was charged May 23 in a 35-count indictment that includes allegations of mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, money laundering and fraud in connection with electronic mail.

Magistrate Judge James Donohue on June 13 ordered Soloway be detained in federal custody until his trial.
