Thodex was one of the exchanges I was also using in the past. However I withdrew all of my savings on Thodex because they had too much promotion and advertisement policy in the recent times. This disturbed me.
If I remember correctly, he was using famous people including models and celebrities on billboards for advertising. Also, there were far too many lavish parties where celebrities were attending. It seemed to be designed to allow Özer and his friends to have a good life enjoying themselves with investors money while the investors were funding it.
The punishment given to Özer is the heaviest one that can be given in Turkey as there is no death punishment. Despite this it wouldn't be a big surprise for me if Özer is released once again by a repentance law in 10 years. I can say that our judicial system is terrible. After examining the judgment in detail I'm planning to make another post about how they calculated 11196 years.
Even if he repents it will not allow victims to rebuild their lives. Having said that, there will probably be an appeal by his lawyers therefore this might not be the last we have heard about Özer.
