>In his own memorandum to the court, requesting that he be sentenced to a year of house arrest, Kail, 49, described himself as a “global power leader, top dev ops influencer and a thought leader.”
So very humble of him.
- catabyte 5y agoFirst off, he didn't describe himself that way; his lawyer did. That's pretty standard stuff in a sentencing memorandum. Secondly, have you read the entire 53 page memorandum? I recommend everyone do so before rushing to judgement. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6769891/269/united-states-v-kail/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6769891/269/united-stat...
- rkalla 5y agoHe also has a church and is a life coach on Only Fans... you know, real classy person. :smh-forever:
- SavantIdiot 5y agoWell, you gotta admit he does a lot of work. I'm too wiped after my 8-5 to even work on fun stuff, so I'm kinda impressed how people find the time to do all this.
- scns 5y agoCocaine?
- junon 5y agoSounds like Andrew Lee (of Freenode fame).
- slothtrop 5y agoah yes, the crown prince
- geodel 5y agoI wish some of those "influenced" and thought followers write articles on how devops world is poorer with Mr Kail now incarcerated.
- rchaud 5y agoRidiculously pompous thing to say once the decision to convict has been made. Even in TV episodes of Law & Order, the furthest defense attorneys go is to ask to serve house arrest before trial because their client is "a pillar of the community" aka very wealthy.
- Aeolun 5y agoI just don’t understand how he can possibly think saying something like that is a good idea. He must be living inside his own reality distortion field.
- bmurphy1976 5y agoPeople like him are so ego-centric, so used to getting their way and never being told anything they do is wrong. That's how they end up in situations like this. They don't think they are doing anything wrong, they don't think they are taking anything that isn't theirs, they think the world owes it to them. That's why he says it. He knows nothing else.
- funnyflamigo 5y agoSeriously, given - > Kail faces a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice his gross gain or twice the gross loss to Netflix, whichever is greater, for each count of a wire or mail fraud conviction, and ten years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each count of a money laundering conviction. As well as > Kail was indicted May 1, 2018, of nineteen counts of wire fraud, three counts of mail fraud, and seven counts of money laundering > The jury returned a verdict of guilty on 28 of the 29 counts. At max sentencing that would be over 400 years of prison for just the fraud. I have no idea how you go from that to asking for 1 year of house arrest
- tptacek 5y agoHe "faces" a maximum 20 years, but that number doesn't mean anything; it's just the maximum possible sentence that would apply if every count was sentenced at the highest possible level and served consecutively. The prosecution is asking for something like 6 years.
- brianwawok 5y agoWhite collar crime isn’t typically punished anywhere near the max.
- radicaldreamer 5y ago"I'd like the maximum sentence please"

- walshemj 5y agoIf I where a Judge id add a few years for that kind of shit

- tptacek 5y agoThe crazy bit here is that he's fighting in sentencing to retain the Netskope stock!
