I don't think they should have fined him that much. Maybe fifty million would have been better. :D I would have given him twenty years not five. And a million dollar fine. I think they should give out harsher sentences to people like him as well as hackers. Stop babying them.

He probably knew what the consequences would be, and still continued with his little scheme. He can cry all he wants, but he had it coming to him. I think the sentence is an outrage though, maybe they used him to set an example in the trend of "screw with the cablecompany, and you'll get burned".

I also think the guy could use a new lawyer, the last one didn't do a very good job. :D

What an asinine sentence. He's better off staying in jail. So now it becomes life in prison. What a bunch of assholes. Companies like that deserve to get ripped off.
Of course, if we had tort reform...

What about the 8th amendment (nor shall excessive fines imposed...), or does it not apply in this case?

Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

Hehe... yeah man, I was like "OMG!! Khazadman finally got his ass suspended" and I was all ready to go find the thread where it happened, when I noticed the date. Bummer. I really felt like a little action around here. ;)

I don't think it was this thread that got me suspended. I think it had something to do with US European politics.

Hey, is there any way I can get that account reactivated, Or has it been deleted already?

Well, it doesn't seem to be deleted; maybe you should send Ziroc or Memnoch a PM about it.

It's supposed to be given back to you once the suspension period is over - but Ziroc may have forgotten if he was busy at the time. So like Groj said, best to drop him or the Genie a line and ask them if it's possible to get your old account back.
