Congrats for the kid. Once he gets out of jail he is going to get a high paying internet security job like all other "ex-hackers". Look at Kevin Mitnick, he is a perfect example of this.

Maybe in Germany but I think he would be blacklisted in the US. He'd probably get jail time too. He deserves it.
