Sasser virus author sentenced, informants collect $250K

A teenager creates two of the bigger viruses of recent times, Sasser and NetSky, and gets off with 21 months probation, 30 hours community service, and a job. Meanwhile two of his mates collect $250,000 from Microsoft for turning him in. Does anyone else think that these three friends have done pretty well out of this?
