    I’m curious what this crowd thinks is an appropriate punishment here. No priors, found guilty, caused some lost revenue (which I have to admit doesn’t mean you actually lost revenue). So, should they even be sent to jail? House arrest? Or do we just want consistency in punishments?

      He should get a corporate level penalty. He made X dollars while working for that company but did something wrong while making that money. He should have to pay back .001% of his profits as a fine and the illegal stuff he did should then be ignored/forgiven. That is what corporations get as a penalty when they break the law, I think it should be applied when they are the victims.

      Honestly, it’s kind of hard to tell. We’re missing a hell of a lot of intent and access to the evidence here.

      If he was just straight up vengeful, He should have been on the hook for the lost wages they paid for all the people that were knocked offline. The cost of whatever contractors they used to repair the problem. 6 months jail time and some psychiatric review.

      If he had the intent of blackmailing them, then felony and probably pulling his work visa.

      As it sits, even if he had some way to keep his right to work here, there are a few that would touch him with a 10-ft pole. He’s required to disclose felonies as part of the hiring process pretty much everywhere. Anybody prospective employers are going to be extremely reluctant to give him any work that would afford him access to their network.
