Child molesters get less time than these guys will. That is how retarded the Federal Sentencing guidelines are. They take away 99% of the federal judge's power to make a judgement call which is their job. 12-15 years is a very extreme sentence for computer crimes of any type. Might as well put a monkey on the bench.
