I think this is just the right sentence to give out for scum suckers like this guy. Excellent stuff.

I could only agree with giving a long term sentence if he were released back into public after say 5years with the understanding if he messes up a second time he finishes the whole sentence. Otherwise 60 years is too long. But why not give child molesters 60 years hard labor no problem in fact just throw away the key.... ohh and give Bush 60 years for stupidity...

that's definitely excessive. he should have to do 5 years and probation

He deserves every bit of the full sentence. You are negatively affecting thousands of people and putting them through hours of processes to recover what he has taken from them.

So he'll be in his eighties when he gets out of prison. That isn't a problem with me. Think of all the problems he has caused and the time spent trying to correct them. Some folks lives were ruined by this creep. No, 60 years isn't enough.

This country is seriously f***ed up when pedophiles get 5 years, and hackers get 60.

No, it is not too harsh! I won't say what I think should be done to hackers and the like, as some may find it inhumane. However, people like this cost individuals and corporations millions each year. They need to be circumsized from society; jail is the perfect place for him!

Prison sentences are closest to HD sizes, and Processor speeds.. ie: little correlation, if any.

What he did, affected Multitudes of people, and I think, on that score, his sentence should be harsh. He will be out in 5 years anyway, so the sentence is almost irrelevent......

I hope he has a terrible time of it.....

Whatever he did is basically theft. 60 years for stealing is too much. Otherwise many of our politicians will be on the electric chair

As one of the victims of this clown,
I for one think it's kinda harsh.
Even though this scumbag ruined my life, It's not permenet, I will recover from it.
But, to "Incarcerate" this man to a death sentence,NO !!
Put his butt to work, In a supervised enviorment,at a REAL paying company and let him pay back those that he stole from.
Prison does not pay their inmates enough to reimburse their victims, So don't tell me about their "Restituion" fund,,thats the biggest joke !!
