One of the results of Operation Firewall was the convictions of Andrew Mantovani, Chad Hatten, and James Ancheta.
• Mantovani, a 24-year-old college student and a Shadowcrew co-founder, was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison, a $5,000 fine, and three years of probation.
• Hatten, a 36-year-old, received 90 months in federal prison, 24 months for "aggravated identity theft" and 66 months for access device fraud. Hatten must also endure three years of supervised release.
• James Ancheta, a 21-year-old "bot" creator who seized control of more than 400,000 computers to install revenue-generating adware and sold his bots to other users, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for his crimes. Ancheta was ineligible for parole and restricted from touching a computer until three years after his release.
