The U.S. Attorney's office said in a news release today that 33-year-old Roman Seleznev was sentenced for his role in a USD 50 million cyber fraud ring and for defrauding banks of USD 9 million through a hacking scheme.
Prosecutors say U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones sentenced Seleznev on a racketeering charge out of Nevada and a conspiracy to commit bank fraud charge in Georgia. He pleaded guilty in September. Jones gave him 14 years on each count. The sentences are to be served at the same time.
