PSN hacking suspect sentenced to house arrest for destroying evidence
The Columbus Dispatch reports that US District Judge Peter C. Economus said Miller was a member of the KCUF hacking clan in 2008 when the group organized an attack on the PlayStation Network, potentially compromising user data.
The FBI contacted Miller while investigating another hack in 2011 that resulted in an extended PSN outage. After obtaining a search warrant, the FBI entered Miller's home to find that his computers were smashed and his hard drives were missing. Lacking evidence to bring up Miller and another suspect on hacking charges, the FBI instead charged Miller with obstructing the investigation.
While Miller faced up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, he was sentenced to three years of probation and a year of house arrest for obstruction of justice. The judge additionally ordered Miller to obtain a high-school equivalence certificate, as part of his sentencing.

There were more better ways to hide evidence, like put it in your neighbors trash, not smash it. Also giving him house arrest isn't much of a punishment for a person like this.

yeah but you know the when it comes to that you destroy the equipment they know your the bad guy etc...
Doesn't matter. If they don't have any evidence they can't prosecute him.
He destroyed the evidence.
He wouldn't smash up his computers and hard drives if he wasn't guilty.
How closed minded are you?!
He owned the equipment, he can choose to destroy it if he wants to.
ya you all are right thats why they could not charge him a fine or 20 years due to the fact there was no evidence ,but they could charge him for obstruction of justice.
since he knew he was gonna be targeted and he smashed his computers and hid his hard drives the fact that he hid his hard drive proves there was evidence on the pc's preventing them from charging him with the first penalty = obstructing justice.
So why isn't he charged for obstructing justice???
