18 months is long enough to bankrupt someone and ruin their life. What a shame. No one should have that kind of power.

This is a tough one for me.

This guy took millions of dollars in people's private investment. Found the treasure, hid the treasure, and then refused to comply with a court order to make the investors whole.

What should the punishment for this be?

People can lose that much of their life just waiting for trials sometimes, I think.

The system has a lot of problems for the number of “criminals” we arrest.
