In Britain the wheels of justice grind slow. But they get there eventually.

Good.

And homeless?
Had a million bucks?

Must have been some rather large crack rocks in his pipe.

I hope he enjoyed it, now he is going to get a different lifestyle. Glad to see some occasional justice is handed out

Wonder what's the update. They should have tried to return funds to users of the exchange.

3 years is fast. In our country we can be lucky if criminals get found guilty in 20 years.   It will most likely take few more years until he will use all legal actions and his sentence will be final. At that time 99.9% crypto users will have no ideas what Mintpal was or who Moolah was.

In one sentence I can just say: What and idiot!
