A teenage Welsh hacker at the center of a multimillion-dollar FBI fraud investigation has been sentenced to three years of community rehabilitation with psychiatric care for what the defense called an obsessive medical condition. Raphael Gray, a 19-year-old from Clynderwen in West Wales, called himself the "saint of e-commerce" and said he was on a mission to highlight security dangers on the Internet. His best-known stunt, however, was using Bill Gates' own credit card number to mail-order the Microsoft chairman a large shipment of Viagra.
