Billionaire only went to prison because he fucked with billionaires. If this had only affected the lower/middle class, he would have gotten off with a slap on the wrist.
He won't serve 25 either, maybe 5 at most.
you mean 5 months right?
They'll send him to one of those privately funded prisons that will all of a sudden get a large mysterious investment.
It's federal, so 50% minimum. Also I think he pissed a lot of people off, I think he's going to be in there a while
Nah, it wasn’t just billionaires he fucked over, not even primarily. Some of his customers probably were in the multimillionaire category, but the vast majority were average folks just trying to build a nest egg.
Not many billionaires even bothered with crypto, they tend to be much more conservative with their investments. Mark Cuban was the only one I know of who had money in it, and it amounted only a few millions, which is literal chickenshit for someone like him.
