Google-Facebook Scammer Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison in $122M Scam
- pergadad 7y agoWhy does white collar crime get such low punishments? Sure he didn't put a gun to someone's head, but this guy ruined lives.
- ponsin 7y agoIs 5 years not a lot? Imagine everything that you accomplished in the past 5 years didn't happen and that you are now an ex-con. I doubt that you would say that that was not a low punishment. Now you could ask, why do other criminals receive such hight sentences? That would be a better question. But 5 years for robbery (I assume he forfeited all of the money he took) sounds harsh but fair
- jmpman 7y agoRuined whose lives? Some accountants in Facebook and Google probably got fired. But, then it was likely their job to not fall for such a scam. I’ve been told that this is a common technique, just typically not at this scale.
