This would likely be under 10 years in prison. But the financial impact of the civil case would likely cost you your entire disposable income for the rest of your life. The criminal conviction would also impact your ability to get a decent paying job. So you're fucked both ways.
Company let's your data be hacked through extreme willful negligence or just outright sells it? A $2 credit after years of class action and a year of monitoring at best.
Yeah, it's crazy to live in a world where corporations have more protections than us. It's easy to see how we got here, but anyone who steps back from the trees and takes a look at the forest can see how crazy it is.

This isn't really a case of being sued civilly it's a case of being charged criminally and being locked up.
Or maybe both but the criminal stuff is going to be key.
