Up to 10 years is crazy. Sure, what he did was wrong, planned and malicious, and they claim it cost them tens of thousands of dollars. But 10 years? This is crazy for something that at worst would be a yearly salary of a single employee.
“allegedly costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.”
It seems he was already messing with the systems while he was still working there. This is not a case of malicious compliance or they fired the only guy who knew how something worked. He was actively sabotaging the company’s network.
“he apparently became disgruntled by a corporate “realignment” in 2018 that “reduced his responsibilities,””
So it’s not even like the company was being evil as they fired him while he was on PTO to take care of his daughter with leukaemia (or something).
He would’ve been better off finding a new job if he was unhappy. Instead he made things far worse.
But 10 years is way too high. Especially for a victimless crime with alleged “values” of loss. But otherwise he gets no sympathy from me.

Fucking capitalism.
he should have tried to overthrow the government, or stole classified documents. that’s a drastically lower sentence
