1. Judges fucking HATE ransomware, they will throw the book at you (slang, meaning be as harsh as possible)
2. It appears it also depends on how much you're willing to snitch and/or beg

Things are starting to add up — why did Lockbit ransomware group issue a threat to Christopher Wray, the current director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation? Why has it taken Lockbit ransomware group so long to release this 'Lockbit 4.0' they keep discussing? Why has it taken them so long to do... almost anything?
In August, 2024 a person named Rostislav Panev was arrested in Israel as he is believed to be a core member of Lockbit ransomware group — the programmer responsible for the development of the Lockbit payload.
Today in Israel it was announced Mr. Panev is deemed extraditable to the United States and his official hearing is schedule on January 5th, 2025 in the Jerusalem District court.
Word on the street is whoever purchased this domain may cover the website in limited edition kitty cats. This is just rumors and speculation though.

Lockbit ransomware group is advertising Lockbit 4.0.
We requested access to join their platform and, because we can't pay, we are offering them 9 (nine) limited addition cat pictures.
Will this work? Will Lockbit get mad?

Announced his resignation***
Resign is misleading, implies effective immediately.
Thank you to the person who called us homosexuals from a compromised Italian government e-mail.
We haven't received an e-mail from a compromised government e-mail in a few months.
There was a shooter in Wisconsin, United States. The shooter killed 2 people and left 6 injured.
The shooter is getting flamed online. Partially for the shooting, partially because the shooter published his manifesto on a Google doc and forgot to make it public.

Per BleepinComputer, a ransomware affiliate from Netwalker ransomware group has been sentenced. He has received 20 years in prison.
It appears the defacto standard in the United States judicial system for ransomware operators (based on arrests of REvil affiliates, Netwalker affiliates, etc) is roughly 20 years in prison. Previous arrests also have shown assets seized (cryptocurrency), and restitution.
Although, the restitution part would be difficult because prison pay in the United States (varying) is approx. $1.41/hour (some as low as $0.03/hr) and some ransomware affiliates owe millions in restitution to victims. This means, ideally, a high paid prisoner would have to work 709,000 hours (29,550 days, 80 years) to pay victims back if they owed $1,000,000 in restitution.
tl;dr if caught doing ransomware, the United States government will take your money, ban you from electronics, sentence you to 20 years in prison, and may you pay back millions at a rate of $1/hr
tl;dr tl;dr if caught doing ransomware, your life is ruined forever (or about 30% of your adult life, depending on how long you live, or unless you "unalive" yourself in prison)
The bidding war is real — we're big cash money, gang

Hello,
Some nerd messaged us saying their dog has spleen cancer and is asking for donations for medical care.
Please consider donating to doggie. Also, note it is donation protected so if you think it's sketchy you can get a refund.
