An 18-year-old Florida teenager who ran a scam that used hacked celebrity Twitter accounts to dupe ordinary people out of their money has been sentenced to three years behind bars, the Office of the State Attorney 13th Judicial Circuit in Tampa announced.

Graham Clark, who was 17 when he committed the crimes, reached a deal with prosecutors, under which he pleaded guilty to 30 counts—including organized fraud and fraudulent use of personal information—and will serve three years in a juvenile facility, followed by three years probation, the state attorney’s office said Tuesday.
