A man who admitted scheming to steal satellite television signals has been ordered to pay $180 million in restitution in $500-a-month installments–a payment plan that would take 30,000 years to fulfill.
Steven Frazier, 28, of Sacramento, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to manufacture and sell devices to decode satellite TV signals and allow people to get premium service for free. He also received a five-year prison sentence.
The scheme was thwarted when the FBI arrested Frazier last fall.
