Conor Brian Fitzpatrick Re-Sentenced: Three years in prison plus 20 years supervised release for former BreachForums owner

Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, aka “Pompompurin”, was re-sentenced today in federal court in Virginia to 36 months in prison with credit for time served, to be served concurrently across counts 1, 2 and 3. He was also given a 20-year supervised release term under the same conditions previously imposed, with two years for counts 1 and 2 and 20 years for count 3, to be served concurrently. He will serve his sentence at FCI Danbury Low and is to be enrolled in the Skills Program.

Fitzpatrick was placed on personal recognizance bond until surrender for service of sentence. The government had sought a sentence of at least 188 months, while the defence had urged probation with weekend jail time, and the judge noted the Fourth Circuit’s vacatur of the prior sentence as part of the decision. The court also noted that Fitzpatrick could have faced up to 20 years for the child pornography charge alone, but the current term is significantly lower than the guidelines would have suggested.
