US government recommends that hacker Gary Bowser spends 5 years in jail

Gary Bowser, a member of Team Xecuter, a video game piracy group that exploits vulnerabilities in console devices from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, may spend 60 months in jail, according to the United States government.

Bowser has already pleaded guilty to his charges and has accepted a $4.5 million fine for his position within the piracy group, along with a separate $10 million fine from Nintendo. The suggested sentence of 60 months would be significantly higher than Bowser’s rebuttal of only 19 months.
