I'm curious though: how did he "hack into his former employer's computer and stealing roughly $5700." I get how hacking into an employer's computer can be interesting, but how do you get money out of it?

Awesome, an Escapist news article that isn't also an opinion piece! Excellent.

I wonder what happens to the people who bought chips off him, whether they get to keep them?

If I hadn't heard about crazy stuff like this before, I'd think this news item was a joke.

depends on what the computer was for. it could have been as simple as stealing the login info for a company financial account and wiring himself the money.

12 Million Dollars is the value placed on those chips by Zynga. Its not actually worth shit all. Quite frankly I'm getting sick of courts and judges making "examples" of cyber criminals because they themselves are about as computer literate as a bloody 2 year old.

One has to ask how Zynga let such a theft take place, given it sounds as if the man wasn't exactly the supreme overlord of all hackers.
Well since he moved the currency into an account with intent to sell it off it becomes fraud and computer trespass, Given it was a second offense for fraud/trespass 2 years is very appropriate of the judge to hand down.
