What a MORON. I've been "exposed" to some of his work, but I've never understood why these guys did it or how they thought that they could get away with it. And this guy lived in the US? What a doofus!

Considering his long history of piracy, and a multi-hundred thousand dollar theft, I think that 50 months is a slap on the wrist. He should consider himself lucky.

Took em long enough, 15 years?

 

[Psycho18]

LMAO, that sucks....but..............BWAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahha

 

[wake]

Considering the millions of dollars in software he's likely been responsible for pirating, 50 months isn't all that bad really.

50 months for anything computer related is stupid. people doing serious crimes dont even get that long.

What chu talkin' bout willis? Software aside, this guy stole hundreds of thousands from cisco. Do you think that you could go into a bank late at night, steal half a million, and get only 50 months? Plus, he's pirated more software than you can shake a stick at. Why do we think white collar crime is so fine, and give the commiter a mere slap on the wrist?

After receiving the hardware, Mr. Breen sold it on the grey market

aka eBay

 

[nan0bug]

I've talked to this guy before, back in the BBS days. He's a cool dude, shame he pulled this stupid crap. He should have stuck to warez.

 

[0roo0roo]

i wonder if his crew/fans/users raised a dime for his defence.....ha ha ha lol

I heard of him when I installed war craft 3.

*hides in shame

 

[CraigRT]

wow, that's insane.. seen razor1911 around online for a while thats for sure!

 

[AMCRambler]

I hardly dare to post here for fear of another 2 week vacation. I've run across stuff from Razor1911. Never knew they were such thieves as they were buying stuff on a Cisco customer account. If that is indeed the case then they deserve to get nailed. Can't believe it took so long.

agreed. They seriously need to figure out this whole "cyber crime" thing and get it under perspective. I don't know I read this example on here, but it's stuck in my memory for a long long time.

Walk into Tower Records (or some other place, seeing as how Tower is bankrupt), steal a CD - if first time, get your parents called, MAYBE charges filed against you if you're unlucky. Small fine at worst

Download that same CD off kazaa and get caught? Theoretically, what is it? $250,000 for every song or something?

RTFA; he also stole $100K+ worth of Cisco equipment and committed mail fraud. The 50 months isn't just for pirating.

wow...the guy's been around for a long time now.

Yeah I think that's most likely the case, but it doesn't help that sites are reporting different news. Businessjournals concentrates more on the cisco part while gamespot concentrates more on the pirating part.

Yeah, well they only gave BF1942 an 8.8, so they obviously don't know what they're doing anyway...
