As a reward for his extensive cooperation helping prosecutors hunt down his fellow hackers, the government is seeking time served for the long-awaited sentencing of top LulzSec leader Hector Xavier Monsegur, also known as "Sabu." After delaying his sentencing for nearly three years, the government has asked a federal court to sentence Monsegur to time served - just seven months - calling him an "extremely valuable and productive cooperator" in a document that details for the first time his extensive cooperation [PDF] providing "unprecedented access to LulzSec."
Monsegur, who has long been despised by members of LulzSec for his reported snitching, faced a possible sentence of between 259 and 317 months (21 years 7 months and 26 years 5 months) imprisonment under U.S. sentencing guidelines. But the U.S. Probation Office and prosecutors have asked for a reduced sentence "without regard to the otherwise applicable mandatory minimum sentence in this case" in a motion submitted to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York on Friday.

I hope he goes to prison and has to toss a lot of salads. If there weren't pussies snitches like this bitch, all his former friends wouldn't be in jail. Pussies like this are so low they look up at the gutter. Do the crime- do the time, don't rat everybody else to keep your pussy ass out of prison.
All my opinions belong to me... that's why they are mine.
