Federal prosecutors say that 24-year-old Jason Smathers was arrested at his home in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and was charged with conspiracy.
According to a criminal complaint, Smathers worked at AOL offices in Dulles when he stole the list and sold it to a 21-year-old Las Vegas man. Sean Dunaway used the list to promote an Internet gambling operation and sold it to spammers.
Dunaway also was arrested at his home and was charged with conspiracy.
Each man could face up to five years in prison and at least $250,000 in fines if convicted.
