Price for the data: $35,000. Joseph Camp, 26, and Daniel Fowler, 21, of Kansas City, Mo. are also accused of attempting to steal university funds, infecting numerous university computers with a virus they developed and using their Facebook accounts to threaten potential witnesses against them. The charges carry possible prison terms of between two and 10 years. The seven-count indictment was unsealed Monday upon Fowler's arrest and initial court appearance.
