Biography

Cody Andrew Kretsinger, known online as recursion, was a LulzSec member involved in the 2011 intrusion into Sony Pictures. After his guilty plea, he was sentenced April 18, 2013 to a year and a day in federal prison, one year of home detention, 1,000 community-service hours and restitution. The official BOP locator records June 4, 2014 as his federal custody endpoint. His exact prison-admission day and later home-detention completion remain unverified.

Federal endpoint verified October 12, 2026: The official BOP locator returned the exact full name CODY ANDREW KRETSINGER, register 49612-308, age 38, not in BOP custody as of June 4, 2014. Identity and age align with DOJ’s original sentence announcement. No sentence-length calculation supplies the missing self-surrender day or home-detention endpoint.

Duration consistency review October 13, 2026: The stored exact day count has been cleared because this case does not have verified day-precision confinement endpoints or an independently documented exact number of days served. Existing approximate durations and sentencing descriptions are retained. No missing date has been guessed.
