....with a multibillion-dollar presence in the US, and who coolly and
deliberately committed a felony (possibly multiple felonies) in the US.

If a college student had done the same thing, even if it had been a
harmless proof of concept to demonstrate a security problem, he would
have gone to prison for years. But not one single Sony executive got so
