Two and half years is a hell of a lot of jail time. I seriously wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

People have gotten used to ridiculously long sentences, but 2 years in jail would be absolutely terrible.

Think of it this way, people are currently SIP and going stir crazy with all the modern stuff.

Someone getting 2 years for stealing 100+ million in gold seems unusually short. But, somehow that changes if what they stole fits on a flash drive.

It’s interesting that we accept electronic money as real, but IP always feels like a stretch.

Rob a bank for 1/100000th the money and see how many more years than 2 you get

Pretty sure he's going to Martha Stewart type powder puff federal facility.

To be sure, there are many hellholes in the US, but he's not going there.
