The 28-year-old hacker who prosecutors have alleged was behind many of the largest card security breaches since 2007 is reportedly close to finalizing a plea bargain in at least some parts of the case.
According to the Associated Press and other media outlets, Albert Gonzalez is near to a plea bargain in the cases concerning the computer breaches of the Dave & Buster restaurant chain in New York and the TJX breach in Massachusetts. The reports quoted unnamed sources in the prosecutor's offices and Gonzalez' attorney Rene Palamino.
"My client is extremely remorseful as to what has happened," the Associated Press quoted Palamino as saying.
