Online ECP Terror Pleads Guilty

"The online eyeglasses seller [Vitaly Borker of DecorMyEyes] who terrified customers in the hopes of creating buzz about his Web site, and raising its profile in Google searches, pleaded guilty on Thursday to two counts of sending threatening communications, one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud," reports the New York Times.

Government prosecutors said that under the guidelines, Mr. Borker should spend at least five and perhaps as many as six and a half years in prison. Mr. Borker's lawyer, Dominic Amorosa, said he expected a fraction of that sentence — a year to 18 months," concludes the Times post.
