In hate scum like this. I understand that Russia lets these scum bags survive operating on the understanding that they will never direct their activities to Russian companies. I would suggest a sentence reduction (10 years ?) if his efforts could be directed to the Russian government agencies.

Firing squad or public stoning would have been better, but I'll take it .....

Agreed - with you all on this thread - its sad actually - you have that much knowledge and you can't think of doing something that benefits your own country - cmon now. Greed will kill everything in you.

American courts gave him a 20 year sentence. Canada 7 years. Our courts are so soft.

His life would be reduced even more if he did that.

Breast?
People ran to Holmes and gave her money. Free will or sales pitch.

Hacker held people hostage for money. No free will nor sales pitch.
