The title is misleading, as it wasn't really a "heist", which implies armed robbery. This guy stole information by taking it home from work over a period of many years. Seems like a fairly light sentence considering he had amassed 50 terabytes of data by the time he was caught. According to Wikipedia he was caught when he contacted a Russian security firm, who in turn contacted the NSA (which is interesting in itself).
