This case reminds us of the Gary McKinnon's. The Scottish hacker could face 70 years in a federal prison while Gonzalez, for all the harm he and his henchmen did to millions, face 25 years. McKinnon got nothing out of his hacks except the adrenaline whereas Gonzalez probably still has a few millions stashed around. Ironically, Gonzalez was once an informant for the FBI.
