Unfortunately, this is one of the very few cases where capital punishment is not only appropriate but the sole course of action. He would still be able to wield influence from prison. Someone with this much money, power, and influence is too dangerous to live.

Nah, you can just solve that by seizing all of his assets as part of the sentence. Take away his money and you also take away almost all of his power and influence (taking away his internet access would take away the rest).
