The former roommate of a woman accused of hacking Capital One banking company and at least 30 other organizations has been sentenced to four years in prison for illegally possessing firearms, according to federal prosecutors.
Park Quan, 67, was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of guns, according to U.S. Attorney Brian Moran.
Quan has been in custody since his arrest and plea in June.
In imposing the four-year sentence, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour said he was taking into account Quan's age and health issues that were diagnosed while he was in prison.
Quan has a 1983 federal conviction in Washington for being a felon in possession of explosives and a 1991 federal conviction in Texas for possessing an unregistered machine gun.
