Fed-level computer crime is one of those things that has huuuge sentences.


A brief survey of courtlistener.com shows they are not that high at least not compared to usual white collar stuff like PPP or Medicare fraud. The cases that aren't connected to banking fraud usually result in < 3 year sentences. Here are some I found:

Mirai authors - Home confinement

Peter Levashov - Time served (33 months)

Fabio Gasperini - 1 year

Maxim Senakh - 4 years

Marcus Hutchins - No prison

Sergey Vovnenko - 41 months

Aleksei Burkov - 9 years, released after 3.5 due to some sort of diplomatic intervention

Andrii Kolpakov - 7 years

Nikita Kuzmin - Time served

Karim Baratov - 5 years

Ruslan Bondars - 14 years but he went to trial, lost, and had a loss amount of $20 billion attributed to him
