 no wonder he's in Jail now..... What an idiot....

  The BIG question is:  What became of his Ebay account?  Is it still active? :-)

Via Yahoo! News (AP).

A Romanian native unhappy with eBay Inc.'s business practices was sentenced to five months in prison for making 
e-mailed threats against two of the company's top officers.

Florin Horicianu, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Ridgewood, N.Y., also received five months of electronic 
monitoring and was ordered to stay away from eBay employees and events, according to a statement Tuesday from the U.S. 
Attorney's office in San Francisco.

Horicianu pleaded guilty in May 2005 to two counts of transmitting threatening interstate communications for sending 
e-mails to eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman and Pierre Omidyar, the company's founder and chairman. Among the 
statements included in the e-mails was "I will haunt and hurt you and your family," according to court documents.
