Court shows leniency to bankaccount hacker

The sentence was halved to 58 years, five months in prison with Bt17,550 in fines due to his confession, with a maximum of 20 years served. However, the court, seeing that Ekkapan had repaid the Bt103,050, had no previous criminal record, and was his family’s breadwinner, gave him a chance to turn over a new leaf by reducing the imprisonment to a threeyear suspended jail term plus another two years on probation and 48 hours of social services.
