The No. 8 worst spammer on the planet is now facing decades behind bars after being arrested for wire fraud.

Michael Persaud, who is accused of sending more than a million spam emails and selling millions of email addresses to use for spamming, may face up to 20 years in prison for each of his 10 federal wire fraud charges.

Persaud used multiple internet addresses and domains – a technique known as 'snowshoe spamming' – to transmit spam emails over at least nine networks, according to cyber-security expert Brian Krebs, who profiled Persaud last year.
