If you commit (or attempt) a crime you should go to jail.
Just because the criminals failed to achieve their goal does not mean that no crime was committed, the intent was clear.
If someone tries to shoot you and misses they are charged with attempted murder, the police do not say that since no one was harmed everyone can go home.

He is a crazy man that deserves to go to jail and rot in a place that i can not disclose at this time.

Clearly the legal system is clueless about making the punishment fit the crime. Look at the Mitnik case and compare it to this one. How is is possible, just from applying common sense, that THIS punishment could exceed the Mitnik?
I think the presiding judge should take in course in Wireless technologies. Once the judge can appreciate the inherent flaws of the system, I would think that he would reconsider his sentencing. I hope they do better on appeals.

my personal opinion is this is the biggest example of in-justice in the american criminal justice system.
if you read the entire story, the convicted did not even GET any of the alleged credit card numbers that he was trying to steal, he did not use any of the numbers or jack anyones credit because he never got to that part of the hack.
if the FBI would have been smart they would have let him actually pull some credit card numbers first, then get him.... but as it stands there is (in my opinion) NOTHING that justifies a 9 year sentence in this arrest!
a failed attempt at stealing credit cards on an unprotected wireless network is no different than someone going into lowes (or wherever) and stealing the cash out of the drawers because the doors were left unlocked... in this same scenario, if the man stealing the cash got busted at the door, then there is zero loss to the comany, which warrants a lighter sentence.
I think this sets a BAD precedence for crimes like this. Although I do not condone this activity, I also do not condone oversentencing and injustice.
my thoughts.
