Prosecutors plea bargain slam dunk cases all the time.

DDoSes are rarely prosecuted as the perpetrators are rarely caught. This is even more true when the DDoS is done by large groups of people (such as the scientology attacks a decade or so ago).

Further, 8chan is run in the Philippines, which would add a lot of complications to any prosecution

The computer is in SF. CFAA applies and the US has jurisdiction.
