LulzSec sneak Sabu buys six more months of freedom
Hector Xavier Monsegur, aka Subu, who allegedly led and then sold out the LulzSec hacking group, has bought himself another six months of freedom from the big house.

It wouldn't be him going there for them, it will be them going there for him. One might consider the illicit side of it to balance out - ignoring for the moment the question of whether he really was what one would consider some sort of instigater - but if all else is equal, the difference between them and him is he's trading a presumably significant part of _their_ lives to pay for _his_ mistakes. Like granny-muggers, there really is no place for people like him among the living.

When the Feds come knocking with enough charges against you to put you away for decades never to see your children again unless you turn on some internet "friends" you have never met IRL and only know from IRC boards, what would you do?
When confronted with the prospect of serious time in a Federal jail with hardened criminals (drop the soap sugar?) Most people would cut a deal in that situation.
Its sad he risked never seeing his chrildren grow up just to be an ass on the Internet "for teh lulz". Seems he realised his mistake himself as soon as the Feds were at his door.

I would imagine you don't have kids. Three hots & a cot doesn't mean anything if you can't see your kids.
Not to mention, he has made the careers of a number of government employees. There is a good chance he will find a place thanks to them.

You imagine wrong. My daughter is the Senior Member of the Technical Staff for a Fortune 150. Her goal in life is to become a better ethical hacker than I am ... although she cheerfully admits that it's unlikely to happen, seeing as I have a 27ish year head-start :-)
I seriously doubt that the unemployed "Sabu" twat gives a rat's ass about the kids, who are taken care of by his mommy. They are probably nothing more than a welfare paycheck for him.
The .gov will not give him a career. He's burned his "trustworthy" bridge.
