Arizona Botnet Controller Draws 30-Month Federal Sentence

dgharmon writes with word from the BBC that "A U.S. hacker who sold access to thousands of hijacked home computers has been jailed for 30 months. Joshua Schichtel of Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced for renting out more than 72,000 PCs that he had taken over using computer viruses." Time is cheap: Schichtel admitted to giving access to those 72,000 computers for $1500.

And yet not one of the CEOs responsible for the epic fraud that crashed the world economy in 2008 has even been arrested, let alone charged and tried.
