> Considering 1 week of pain to get it removed I think you haven't really been following these cases. To his victims, it was far from "1 week of pain"... his actions cost people their jobs and damaged their relationships. 100 victims only counts the ones who paid, I suspect many wouldn't. You can argue that the posters should pay the price, and they should, but Bollaert is also culpable. Just like I would be culpable if I offered a "bank robbery getaway driver" service. And let's be honest here, the masterminds behind Enron didn't get the punishment they were due. But they were rich and well-connected. Miscarriage of justice, sure, but a bad comparison. It's 18 years because US prosecutors want to set an example for a new category of cases, and this guy is neither rich nor well-connected.
