"Your total sentence is 108 months, you will be giving a credit for serving already roughly 4.5 years", Judge T. S. Ellis III said.
Burkov was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and will have to pay a restitution of $7,000. The court also required Burkov to forfeit assets amounting to over $1 million.
"I require that you be designated to serve your service in the facility close to Eastern district", Judge Ellis said. "You may have the right to appeal your sentence."
Under a deal with the US government, Burkov pleaded guilty to two counts of the indictment in return for the dismissal of the other three, downsizing the maximum potential penalty from 80 years to 15 years in prison.
Burkov was arrested during his trip to Israel in 2015 on the request of the US government. He spent almost four years in Israeli custody and fought unsuccessfully to be sent to Russia. Burkov, who was extradited to the United States from Israel, is accused of running two websites for hackers - a floor for trading in stolen payment card data and an "elite cybercriminals" forum. The prosecution said it believes 150,000 cardholders and thousands of financial companies may qualify as victims.
