Sorry Salty but this is really only half the story and the full truth is much worse. What he did was he deliberately and knowingly told a drug dealer how to avoid triggering AML AFTER said dealer has his account shut down. Here is a full quote quote from another thread I posted in on the "long story short".
so long story short, he IS a criminal (regardless if he's a "likable guy") and he is serving the time in jail that he no doubt earned. Moreover he scammed someone on here for a large amount. So he does not need/deserve sympathy or donations.
Donating to the victim is a much better idea, as someone suggested.
