"After multiple attempts to delay his incarceration, a 26-year-old man has reported to prison to serve a three-year sentence for a hack that gleaned roughly $2.7 million in gift cards from Apple, court records show. Keith Latteri, a resident of New Jersey, was sentenced in May by U.S. District Judge William Orrick, but was able to repeatedly delay his entrance to prison, convincing Orrick twice to move back his self-surrender date, court records show."
"But prosecutors also cited allegations against Latteri that didn't result in criminal charges, calling him someone who used the internet to serve as a one man crime spree. A prosecution sentencing memo says FBI investigators gathered evidence that Latteri extorted girls for naked pictures, threatened people, sometimes while using racist epitaphs, forging subpoenas that appeared to come from Disney lawyers, and doxxed others online."
"Latteri pleaded guilty to intentional damage to a protected computer and charges remain pending against his co-defendant Noah Roskin-Frazee, court records show. Prosecutors argued in court filings that Latteri and Roskin-Frazee caused millions of damage to Apple and a second company in lost items and remediation costs. Latteri's sentencing orders him to pay joint restitution of more than $3.8 million."
Keith Latteri, 26, reported to prison to begin a three-year sentence for a hack that obtained roughly $2.7 million in Apple gift cards. He repeatedly delayed his self-surrender after sentencing by U.S. District Judge William Orrick but was ordered to report by Aug. 1. Latteri pleaded guilty to intentional damage to a protected computer; charges remain pending against co-defendant Noah Roskin-Frazee. Prosecutors said Latteri and Roskin-Frazee caused millions in damages to Apple and another company and must pay joint restitution exceeding $3.8 million. Prosecutors also described uncharged allegations including extortion, threats, racist epithets, forged subpoenas, doxxing, impersonation of company representatives to hundreds of victims, and a 2015 blackmail of a minor. Sentencing memos were filed under seal. Release is set for early 2028.
