  1. Those sentences are just cruel. I can’t even be angry about crimes when I see sentences like that.

  2. Wow – somehow it seems that guy has found the holy grail of stopping aging or what?

  3. Oh, just another billion Dollar crypto-fraud. Who could have imagined something like this in a greed driven Beanie Babies scam world.

    r/buttcoin would be proud

  4. “Taking $2 billion from his customers saw the boss of one of Turkey’s largest crypto exchanges Thodex sentenced to 11,196 years, 10 months and 15 days in prison.
    For comparison, the last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago.”

    Didn’t the jewish guy who owned FTX do the same thing on a bigger scale? And he’s out or something?

  5. Whole Life Orders in the UK and Life Without the Possibility of Parole in the US are more severe.

  6. While I’m not a “cryto bro” and have better sanity for the money I don’t have, I do have to ask, if someone lying about a financial item gets that, cause it scammed people, why aren’t the banks in jail? 🙂

  7. He’d get a lesser sentence if he’d committed a genocide ffs

  8. Here, you can get out of prison after serving half your sentence.

  9. He was lucky not to get even more. He easily could’ve gotten 15000 years or even 20000 years

  10. Cumulative sentencing gets a bit silly when there are lots of charges.

    It’s fine up to a point I guess, we are on the extreme other end where only the most serious offence actually matters so committing a hundred burglaries get the same sentence as one (probably will result in the maximum sentence as an aggravated case, but not 100 times the sentence) because you serve all the sentence sin parallel, so a few repeat offenders can rack up hundreds of cases, serve a few months and then go right back to it.
