"In addition, even after she decides on jail time, the
government has already said it plans to ask for a separate
restitution hearing to determine a dollar amount that Soloway
should have to give up to victims of his activities. That presents
an equal challenge, Pechman said. She wondered aloud if she should
put a dollar figure on how much money affected people could have
earned doing their regular jobs if they were not otherwise engaged
in dealing with spam. Or instead, rather than losses, she could try
to figure out a dollar value to pay people for their annoyance
related to the spam they received, she said."
