Why is this getting downvoted? That's exactly what Sabu was doing.
He and this FBI guy would approach random kids on IRC in order to entice them to join "his" prestigious hacker group. They weren't going after existing criminals, but going out of their way to create new ones. Largely underage children.

Or just entrap some lonely kids.

I wonder if they're still in the justice system (prison/probation/etc.)
No, Sabu got only 1 year of probation.
I was referring to the kids and any other he entrapped/informed on.
Probably not, it's been almost a decade now. Someone might still be on probation.
Even Jeremy Hammond is out since 2020, he'd been sentenced to 10 years.
