He didn’t go to prison.

He was sentenced on March 19, 2019 to 30 months in prison, suspended for four years, meaning he will serve no time unless he commits additional offenses before March 19, 2023.

I perhaps stand corrected?

He did spend a considerable amount of time in prison.

> Mark Karpeles, who has been spending time in a Japanese jail for the past 10 months is finally out.

He was convicted in Japan because everybody gets convicted in Japan, especially a foreigner. But he saw no jail time.
