Criminal charges don't encompass the entirety of the potential consequences for the "perpetrators" revealing their identities. Go through a long list of famous people or people you know and ask yourself "how would their lives be impacted if it turned out they did the Max Hedroom hack". For many it would probably be inconsequential or likely beneficial, for some it would be disastrous. Consider, for example, if someone was working a job with a high degree of responsibility, perhaps involving security clearances, would they want to risk disclosure?
