Light sentence. 25 years is a lot when murderers can get less, but light compared to the 100 years he was originally facing. He'll be out in his 50s.
Don't get me wrong, he deserve it, but isn't it funny that they singled out an outlier but none of the financial responsible in the 2008 got any time? And they fecked us all much moreSentenced to 25 years in prison.

…..quite a lot?What has this guy done wrong that other businesses, governments ot tax offices haven't done?
They used to sign off 6 figure corporate expenses over Teams chats that got automatically deleted after I think it was 30 days. I think that shows you the level of corporate governance they worked with. Ignorance isn't a defence under the law for directors, and I also don't believe they didn't know they were breaking at least some of the rules. I don't think they're necessarily worse people than many other execs, but the arrogance to think the rules didn't apply to them when gambling other people's money was a bit remarkable.What has this guy done wrong that other businesses, governments ot tax offices haven't done?
You can always tell if these painters like someone or not. I love that.

25 years in jail is a lot. I don't care what is given for other crimes and often I think people don't really comprehend what it means. 25 years in prison is horrendous. You're not coming out the same as you went in and even if he does half that, he's likely coming out a broken man.Light sentence. 25 years is a lot when murderers can get less, but light compared to the 100 years he was originally facing.

In Singapore. I don't know if their rules are different but it's quite a different context. He also wasn't the chief exec, he was just a trader. In fact the directors at Barings ought to have been punished further than just losing their jobs as they were responsible for setting up the processes and limits to what Lesson could do. They ought to have been banned from being directors for a while at least.Nick Leeson? 4 years in nik
Caption: Roy Hodgson takes FTX's Founder, Samuel Faceman-Fried's McDonalds order and telling him "we don't take FTX coin as payment here", that's why he looks sad.

I just don't believe you gain very much from incarcerating people and I don't think people really comprehend what a decade isolated from family, friends with your freedoms removed can do to someone. It costs the state an absolute fortune as well.And so many people lost all their money and savings. He broke so many lifes. Forever
I think it is you that you dont realize the scope of what this man did
The deterrent effect is what we are looking for here. And frankly, the rich people that steal the average joe en mass are the ones that at the bottom of my regard among few other types. I would wish them far worse than 25 years and i am not talking about more yearsI just don't believe you gain very much from incarcerating people and I don't think people really comprehend what a decade isolated from family, friends with your freedoms removed can do to someone.

How many years would suffice for you?
Wouldn't it be better to get some use out of him, in some way, for the betterment of society?
Is there any evidence that longer prison sentences are actually a deterrent at all? I'm quite dubious about that.The deterrent effect is what we are looking for here.
Worse? Back to capital punishment then, is it?And frankly, the rich people that steal the average joe en mass are the ones that at the bottom of my regard among few other types. I would wish them far worse than 25 years and i am not talking about more years
I dont know if there is any study about it. My logic says yes, but i might be completely wrong. At the same time, what would be the optics of allowing a person to steal hundreds of millions for just a few years to get out and enjoy the good life. Bc this people might be stripped of their money but they made good contacts that made millions thanks to them that will gladly repay the favour.Is there any evidence that longer prison sentences are actually a deterrent at all? I'm quite dubious about that. Logically I don't see how it would.

Hmmm I'll look into it. My gut says no, tbh.I dont know if there is any study about it. My logic says yes, but i might be completely wrong.
Fair point and obviously, the man should never be allowed to be involved in any kind financial business again. Even if he does do 25 years he should still be banned.At the same time, what would be the optics of allowing a person to steal hundreds of millions for just a few years to get out and enjoy the good life.

And not capital punisnment. Worse
I typically agree with you that rehabilitation is preferable. A broken man steals to feed his drug addiction - I’d much rather see him helped than imprisoned.I just don't believe you gain very much from incarcerating people and I don't think people really comprehend what a decade isolated from family, friends with your freedoms removed can do to someone.

I abslutely agree. I believe in rehabilitation in many cases. Specially with people that are also victims of the system that brings them to fall in addictions, stealing and others crimes as a result of little opportunities in life do gheir upbringingI typically agree with you that rehabilitation is preferable.

This circumstance is so different though, it’s an uber-wealthy privileged person from an elite background wilfully shitting all over ‘regular’ people. I don’t know how much he deserves rehabilitation, life has already given him so much and he’s chosen to be a an abuser en masse
Good. He knew what he was doing and gladly shat all over his customers and showed zero remorse about it.25 years in jail is a lot.
