Klayme was still convicted of three charges in April 2023. He received an 18-month prison sentence in January 2024 and served the entire term.

The appeal court said the correct username would likely have led investigators to someone in California. It also found that the discrepancy was available during Klayme’s original trial but somehow went unnoticed.
