Hack of the network and breakdown- it's a tax for Dedending SysAdmins' stupidity and incompitence. Jail that US sysadmin and the person who'd recruited him. And take Solo as an extern IT Security expert. If you want to make situation better, of course... If he'll be extradited - it will be nothing more than a silent confirmation of one miserable fact : money buys EVERYTHING, including the judges.
