We have no idea how long the sentence will be. Prosecutors said <i>under</i> 5 years. If I had to guess, it&#x27;ll be closer to two years.<p>I think the major problem with CFAA is the way in which sentences scale with damages. I generally think <i>all</i> criminal sentences are far too long.<p>At the same time, this is a really unsympathetic defendant.<p>It&#x27;s not &quot;minor vandalism&quot; when the cleanup involves a $50,000 outside forensics investigation. I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s what Trib had to do, but much smaller companies than the Trib have had to pay much more in cleanup from otherwise innocuous breakins.
