Former Duck Headed to Federal Prison for Software Piracy

Jeremiah MondelloFormer U of O student (I’m not entirely clear if he is a graduate), Jeremiah Mondello, is going to prison for four years for selling counterfeit DVDs of software and hacking into bank accounts in order to disguise his financial transactions.  He apparently made $300,000 in three years, mostly by selling copies of Quicken software.  Considering how well his enterprise was going till he was caught, it’s too bad he didn’t apply his creative energies to more legal business ventures.
