I have to agree with you on this...its a shame these people are not behind pars for their actions.

It will only further encourage others who have malice in their dark hearts to follow their lead.

I do hope our hobby is not totally ruined and that someday it will bounce back to the heydays of the past.

It's truly insane - check this dude out - he got ONE year in prison... wtaf...

I mean, wtflol.. why didn't he flee to another place with no US extradition treaty year ago? Even dumbass Do Kwan waited too long LOL... Huh

It does not get dumber than that...or he was that delusional that he wasnt gonna be found in the USA!

One year in prison for that kind of money isn't much for stealing over 3 billion dollars worthof Bitcoin!

It seems to me.. and yeah I am pulling this out of my ass, somewhat, that they might be being lenient with him as a kind of message to everyone else.. that there "can be leniency" when "all the funds" (if that is the case?) are recovered... . which is kind of bullshit, because the recovery of the funds went to the US Govt. and not to the victims in which the coins had been stolen (skimmed) from the then silk road users.. or maybe the silk road enterprise might have been the proper owner of those coins that Loaded had skimmed from the bugs in the silk-road user-interface?
