they will probably end up getting a job working for the government in order to avoid life sentence
yeah, they gonna be lucky if they get arrested
doubtful
just because they can run a botnet and ddos people doesn't mean they have any valuable skills the government would value
bet any amount of money that even a grunt for the NSA could work out how to use a botnet. getting a bunch of vulnerable computers upon which to run the botnet is a little different but that still doesn't take any unique set of skills
these are some little script kiddies who got a good position and base to launch some high-profile attacks, hardly anything spectacular except in the sheer scope of it
they'll be getting waterboarded for information in a few months tops, same thing that happened to LulzSec when they claimed they would never get caught - one guy got tortured and ratted.
