Scammers Who Stole $1.5 Million From Apple Sentenced to Combined 13 Years in Jail

6 1/2 years in prison sounds a bit harsh doesn’t it? These guys are probably quite young. Their lives will be destroyed by this.

You're being sarcastic, right?

USA judicial system is quite bizarre. 13 years is basically a sentence for killing someone in most countries. I'm impressed how people spend time in jail for nonsense things. No wonder it has the most jailed people in the world. The fact they already are paying fines and restitution should give them no more than 5 years in jail. This is kinda broken.

Nothing bizarre about 6+ years for defrauding a company of over a million dollars. I'm pretty shocked that a few people on this thread think these thieves are being treated to harshly. Wow... The restitution isn't part of the punishment in my eyes - that's simply giving back what they stole. Fines, of course, would be punishment, but fines alone would not be a sufficient punishment for this level of crime. So I find it hard to shed a tear for them for the extra 1.5 years they will spend in jail above your 5 year suggestion. Come on.
