Once they get caught they are going away for a loooong time. Going after Sony following some political fighting I get, but this is just mean. Atleast reveal it privately to Bethesda to let them secure things up.
I guess that depends on the country. As long as they do not "destroy" or "maliciously manipulate" some data, charges in many countries are pretty low (and sometimes non-existant). In addition, there are many countries that won't extradite their own citizens.
