A Los Angeles man was sentenced late Wednesday in federal court to four
years in prison after pleading guilty last year to infecting as many as
250,000 computers and stealing thousands of peoples' identities and
hijacking their bank accounts.

His IM signature:  "Crime pays, and it also has an excellent benefits
package."

Seriously, I just read it in the court docs. Another one: "Remember the
name or feel the pain."
