Definitely an extraordinary sentence, 3.5 years for the theft of just over $10,000? That sounds way of whack to me, they must be trying to make an example of him to send a chilling message anybody else.

It sucks that we live in a world where rapists and murders can get the same or shorter sentences that somebody who stole a paltry $10,000. I understand that what he did was wrong, but the sentence is excessive and does not represent fair justice.

Glad I don't live in China. Communists countries always seem to have their sentencing guidelines way out of touch with reality.
