No jail for Lizard Squad member guilty of 50,700 cybercrime charges

Unbelievable, this kid cost companies hundreds of thousands (if not more) of dollars in damages, ruined Christmas for thousands (or more) kids & shows neither remorse nor repent.  Why wasn't he charged as an adult & given jail time???

Would appreciate comments from law enforcement and/or lawyers on this one.

From Sophos Naked Security:

No jail for Lizard Squad member guilty of 50,700 cybercrime charges

A 17-year-old member of notorious hacking gang Lizard Squad has escaped jail time, despite being convicted of 50,700 computer crime charges.

Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki was instead ordered to "fight against cybercrime" and given a two-year suspended prison sentence, according to the Daily Dot.
