Some stats on how much it costs to crack a password:
| Yahoo | $150 |
| MSN Hotmail | $175 |
| AOL | $200 |
| GMail | $200 |
| Others | $250 |
Found on crackspider. I'm a bit suspicious of the site as it sent firefox and konqueror into contortions ... so I'll refrain from posting the URL.

The upper limit of his financial responsibility has been established as the black-market price for forging the ID documents (mostly government-issued ones) upon which he relies for checking identity.
He's a lawyer by training, by the way.
Ooops. I omitted the most important piece of information: approx. US $1000
