Sam Jain

Jain Shaileshkuma (born February 10, 1970), better known as Sam Jain, is an internet entrepreneur and former CEO of affiliate marketing network eFront. In 2000, eFront submitted fraudulent data to Media Metrix, a website ranking publisher. Former President of eFront Jerry Ziegler accused Jain of deliberately falsifying affiliate data, using tactics such as submitting companies which didn't respond to his affiliate offer as affiliates with the justification that " [i] f they won't respond to me, they won't respond to anyone." In 2001 Jain was involved in a scandal when ICQ instant messaging logs between the him and other employees were leaked onto the internet. The logs detailed activities such as not paying websites that had hosted their banner ads and sending legal threats to websites that spoke poorly of eFront. On April 20, 2005 he was ordered to pay $3.1 million to Symantec for selling counterfeit software and violating intellectual property laws.

Jain additionally has a criminal record in California stemming from fraud in 1991.
