If a person has gained money, property or services or other consideration through the commission of any offense under section 53a-251 , upon conviction thereof the court, in lieu of imposing a fine, may sentence the defendant to pay an amount, fixed by the court, not to exceed double the amount of the defendant's gain from the commission of such offense. In such case the court shall make a finding as to the amount of the defendant's gain from the offense and, if the record does not contain sufficient evidence to support such a finding, the court may conduct a hearing upon the issue.
For the purpose of this section, “gain” means the amount of money or the value of property or computer services or other consideration derived.
