TJX Hacker Gets 20 Years

With the defense attorney asking for 15 years and the prosecutor wanting 25, I guess this guy's sentence was a compromise that made everyone happy. Well, maybe not "everyone."

Sentencing him in Boston, Judge Patti Saris said: "This is the largest and most costly example of computer hacking in US history." The sentence was less than the 25 years demanded by prosecutors and Saris said several factors were taken into consideration.

Wow, Read the comments, no wonder the US is messed up.

Murders get 20-25yrs, and deserve it, the commenters want this guy killed.

Its sad that this level of criminal will go to a prison and be a drain on society, where he should be in a place that gives a punishment, but also alows him to contribute back to society.
