AOL Employee Steals 92 Million Names
 Ever since Time Warner took the AOL name off its building we've wondered what AOL would do. Now the truth can be told.... Jason Smathers, 24, was fired from his job as a software engineer for AOL after being arrested at his home in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, company officials said. He was charged with conspiracy. Smathers, who worked at AOL’s offices in Dulles, Virginia, sold the list to Sean Dunaway, 21, of Las Vegas, according to a criminal complaint. Dunaway, also charged with conspiracy, then used it to promote an internet gambling operation and sold it to spammers.
So when you AOL folk have mail, you'll already know where it's coming from...
