A former database administrator at Certegy Check Services Inc. who admitted last year that he stole the personal data of about 8.5 million consumers and sold the information to data brokers has been sentenced to 57 months in prison by a federal judge.
In addition, the judge ordered William G. Sullivan to pay almost $4 million in restitution to consumers victimized by the data-theft scheme and to submit to three years' of court supervision upon his release from prison. The sentence was handed down last Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Fla.
Sullivan pleaded guilty to felony fraud charges last November, four months after the data thefts were disclosed by Certegy's parent company, Fidelity National Information Services Inc. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to recommend a reduction from the maximum five-year sentence that Sullivan could have received.

that really would hurt an elephant ! 
I guess he would like to get a life sentence better than get released to cover up his debts
