Conor Brian Fitzpatrick – aka “Pompourin,” a former administrator of notorious leak site BreachForums – has been sentenced to 20 years of supervised release.
Fitzpatrick was arrested and charged in March 2023. Authorities accused him of running the site, which allegedly facilitated sales of stolen data, hacking tools, and child sexual abuse material. He pled guilty but later breached the terms of his pretrial release and was incarcerated ahead of sentencing.
Last Friday the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled [PDF] that Fitzpatrick will spend the next 20 years of his life on supervised release. For the first two years he’ll be under home arrest and tracked by a GPS device, and for the first year he’s forbidden to use the internet.
