Faruk Ozer, turkey crypto whizz sentenced to 11,196 years in jail? Wow!

Considering the amount of people he scammed and the amount of money he has stolen, I would say that was basically just "make sure he doesn't get out" punishment. You can give a person 100 years in jail and they would still not be able to get out, but if there is some sort of pardon for that crime, or if some sort of good behavior stuff, he could get out when he is older.

I have seen plenty of people who were "punished with life sentence" where they theoretically should stay at prison for all their life, but got out after 20-25-30 years because that is when parole starts. This judgement was made probably because even if he gets out of one, he stays in for the others, and there is no possible way that he could ever be out.

I personally felt slapped and amazed in a mixed feeling to hear that a young man who claims to be a cryptocurrency whizz could be sent to over 11 thousand years behind bars? Like seriously? We aren't even talking days, hours or even minutes here. I personally felt embarrassed as a crypto fan to see headlines carrying 'Cryptocurrency boss' in such scandalous case reported by the news.

Why would you feel that way when a scammer is paying for his sins? Well, if it's because of the 11,196 years he was slammed with, it is not a new thing in the country. Turkey is known for dishing out extraordinary sentences to criminals since the abolition of death penalty in 2014. If you've to feel anything, then feel for the parent who just lost three of their children because Faruk Fatih Özer was sentenced alongside two of his siblings. More also, I don't see how this would tarnish the image of crypto in any way, rather it would serve as a deterrent to exchanges and other crypto projects operating in Turkey.
