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.

xEclipticsMonster-Munch2015 He should be out. Sorry but you can't put someone in jail with no evidence this is stupid. -.-
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?!

Azare He should be happy that a house arrest sentence is all he got.. I'm actually surprised nothing more happened.
He probably would have got worse if he didn't destroy the evidence.

House arrest is not so bad, but being suspended from the internet for three years, ouch.
