Levine, 46, of Boca Raton, Florida, was sentenced for 120 counts of 
unauthorised access of a protected computer, two counts of access device 
fraud and one count of obstruction of justice, the DOJ said. A jury in 
US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas found him guilty 
last August. .
