The artist naming convention also followed a somewhat similar pattern, with names ranging from the normal-sounding "Calvin Mann" to head-scratchers like "Calorie Event," "Calms Scorching," and "Calypso Xored."

Not sure why this is illegal. Against the company's terms of service, sure. But the government shouldn't be involved.

Indicted on three counts involving money laundering and wire fraud, the Charlotte-area man faces a maximum of 20 years per charge.

I'm quite sure he will have committed fraud at least 1 or 2 times in there somewhere.
