>Yes, it is criminal and the ex-admin will go to jail.

Maybe in North Korea, or the US. Relatively unlikely in civilized countries.

I wonder if some of the downvoters would like to expand on why this guy wouldn't be given a suspended sentence.

I've been following and partaking in various European cybercrime trials for years and unless this guy is a repeat offender or acted in a particularly methodical manner it seems utterly ridiculous to make blanket statements like "this guy will go to jail". He most likely will not.

Do you believe that's an unfair comparison? According to various statistics both states have very similar incarceration rates.

Compare US incarceration rate of 693 people per 100,000 to 69 people per 100,000 in the Netherlands.
