Jesus Oquendo, aka Sil, who maintains the quirky site AntiOffline, has been convicted of computer trespass and eavesdropping and sentenced to 27 months in a minimum security federal jail and ordered to pay $96,385 in restitution. He reports on Monday to serve his time.

Oquendo maintains his innocence, and says he turned down a plea offer of only six months in order to sue his case in court. The trial went poorly for him, and the jury found him guilty on both charges.

The trouble began last year, shortly after the company he worked for, Collegeboardwalk.com, went bust. The company shared office space and network resources with one of its investors, Manhattan venture capital outfit Five Partners Asset Management.
