23 days applied to an earlier arrest before he was charged with a crime. Now he's been charged with embezzlement and remains in jail. Given Japan's conviction rates he's likely to spend quite a bit of time there.
hopefully he will seat there for 20 year + .
Doing the math, we'll be lucky if Paul Vernon serves a quarter of the time that Trendon Shavers is sentenced to for his four-time larger theft than what occurred at Cryptsy.
between the divorce lawyers the potential fines and jail time he will be washed up when it's all over. Karma will do it's thing...
If he's convicted of obstruction of justice "compounding a felony", then he would get the same sentence as if he stole the money himself under Florida law. He's also looking at aiding and abetting, being an accessory after the fact, and whatever compliance related charges they want to throw at him like failing to segregate customer assets in accordance with fincen regulation.
Seriously, this dude is not getting off which is why I suspect he preemptively fled the country.
Paul, if you are really lucky, law enforcement finds you before we do. Just remember that you may have run away, but your loved ones are still here.
