I personally don't think it's worth either, that's a while in prison at the very least, perhaps some fines tacked on so whatever money you made is useless imo
I don't think life in prison/death sentence is overreaction for hacking and selling information illegally. Yes this kind of sprouts from the "I believe in rehabilitative prisons but I think you should be skinned alive if you commit one of the crimes I don't like" ideology but also because you're a complete piece of shit if you go through the trouble of finding, and leaking, a lot of people's (especially with what just recently happened) personal information and probably putting their lives in danger just to make like $500.
