Hew Raymond Griffiths, known in the cracking and pirating circles as "Bandito," has pleaded guilty in a US federal court to one count each of criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement. Griffiths, 44, was the head of the cracking group "DrinkOrDie," an underground software and media trading group. He had been extradited to the US in February from his home in Bateau Bay, Australia, after three years of fighting the charges.

It took a bit too long to get him extradited, but all in all a good outcome. I wonder what kinda deal he coped to. Probably just going to face one 10 year jail sentence with a hefty fine.
