Federal officials have dismissed charges against an Atlanta man who was accused of trying to extort $1.5 million from Oprah Winfrey.

That's some great risk/reward for what he eventually got I'd say. Not much of a penalty for what he was trying to do. 50 hours of community service? You have gotta be kidding. Don't think that will really convince him not to try it again.
That $300 could have gone a long ways though. He could be sitting in style and comfort with some classy Powell furniture instead of paying the FBI to investigate his failed scam.
