Depends where he lives.
A Welsh credit card hacker got a few years of community rehab and psychiatric treatment (he stole 23,000 card details and caused $3 million in damages).
A guy in Miami got 20 years for having stolen 5 million credit card details. Not all credit card hackers are caught, but if he is caught and in the US, his ass will be sore for quite a long time. Better hope he doesn't drop the soap.
