AOL Thief Sentenced

I use that term sarcastically. He got 15 months in prison. I suspect with good behavior he'll be back online before Martha Stewart. Heck, he'll probably get a pay raise and a job teaching people that they cant trust their own employees.

Here is a link to the Yahoo! story.

It seems our friend got a pleabargain even though he doesn't have enough information to implicate anyone else. Way to send a message to the other would be criminals out there.
