In my copy of Cyberpunk, I read that he was sentenced to three years' probation, and had a fine of $10000, plus 400 hours of community service. Now he is working as a programmer at a software engeneering reasearch firm in cambridge, Massachussetts. There was a court of appeal, on march 7, 1991, but conviction was upheld. That's all I know. If people know more, please tell us. Thank you... Laurent Chardon.
