He defrauded his investors. As much as I find that funny, what he did was a white collar crime that has consequences.

In Germany, financial crimes are often punished much harder than capital crimes too. Tells you where the priorities lie.

Most don't even get sentenced at all, what's your point?

No, that's not what happened. I'm guessing you saw this news before under a clickbait title.
It's not about where gold was found, it's about where he stashed it later. These are assets that are (or were) in his hands which partially belong to all the investors he defrauded.
