Two and half years is a hell of a lot of jail time. I seriously wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

People have gotten used to ridiculously long sentences, but 2 years in jail would be absolutely terrible.

Think of it this way, people are currently SIP and going stir crazy with all the modern stuff.

Someone getting 2 years for stealing 100+ million in gold seems unusually short. But, somehow that changes if what they stole fits on a flash drive.

It’s interesting that we accept electronic money as real, but IP always feels like a stretch.

Rob a bank for 1/100000th the money and see how many more years than 2 you get
Pretty sure he's going to Martha Stewart type powder puff federal facility.

To be sure, there are many hellholes in the US, but he's not going there.

My worst enemy could use a decade.
