Chris Lamprecht (aka: MinorThreat) is regarded as the first person to be banned from the Internet. After being sentenced to 70 months in prison for money laundering, Lamprecht was also given the unusual punishment of no access to the Internet until 2003.

Under the order of Judge Sam Sparks of the US District Court in 1995, Lamprecht was ordered to 70 months in the Federal Correctional Institution. Though a known computer hacker, the 24 year old was never tried, nor plead guilty for computer related crimes, making it the more unusual that he was not allowed to access the Internet.
