He stepped down, and my quick search doesn't show him actually facing punishment. And his case was different, as some members of staff did believe he was encouraging use of Signal to prevent FOIA strikes.

Yeah, I have no inside knowledge, but it certainly looks like nothing in the way of criminal punishment. From various articles, it sounds like he only intended to do a two-year term, and he actually stayed in the position a few months after that while the investigation was taking place. He stepped down before the report was finally published: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jun/21/2002745247/-1/-1/1/DODIG-2021-092.PDF https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jun/21/2002745247/-1/-1/1/DOD... Per his LinkedIn page, he went straight to what is probably a cushy job at Vanderbilt University. Interesting career path, by the way. He was "Director of IT at OpenTable" for seven years, and then did four years as a "Police Officer" in the Chicago PD before going back to IT stuff there.
