Although I suspect many people would consider it a great deal, I personally would not be willing to spend the entirety of my 20s in prison in exchange for a good chance at getting away with $10 million after that, and I do not consider this an example of someone winning.
The folks who stole millions online doing crypto shenanigans or whatever and whom you have not heard of, they won. But not this guy.
- SoftTalker 1y agoI’m not sure I agree. Life is much easier after you turn 30. And easier still after 40. In your 20s most people think of you as a kid.
- MountDoom 1y agoThe reason it gets easier after 30 is largely because of what you learned. It's easier to find a job because you have an employment history, a set of work-related skills, and some connections you can lean on. It's easier to manage money because you know what to not spend it on. It's easier to get into a stable relationship because you learned from the teenage drama. And on, and on. Getting to the level of a well-adjusted 30-yo is much harder if you're spending that time behind bars.
- SoftTalker 1y agoYeah to some degree. But your brain isn't really mature until around age 25. But I agree, spending that time in prison would limit your experiences in an unnatural way. Most criminal hackers would probably be in a rather low-security prison situation however, with some access to books and learning opportunities, maybe even work release etc.
