David Kent sold his social network Rigzone to Dice, created a competing company, hacked the first company to build up the new company, then tried to sell the new company to Dice.
Instead, Kent faces a year and a day in federal prison for repeatedly hacking into a computer database to which he was not authorized. The 366-day sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote, who commented, “This was a betrayal of trust, a breach of loyalty, and a level of deceit and dishonesty that was very sad and disappointing.”
