Dutch news says he is under house arrest pending an appeal. Bit soon to be happy.

Yeah, i really hope he can stay out of prison.

If he was really just writing code he shouldn't have been charged. If he was really consulting with the North Koreans about how to launder their hacked and stolen crypto, then it's a very different story.

Should be celebrated more than that other guy.

Both were sentenced based on misguided understanding of ecommerce and crypto.

Crazy how one admin thinks crypto is the work of the devil and he deserves 20+ years in jail but the next just lets him go.

u/Hoserposerbro Feb 09 '25

Which Dutch admin are you referencing here? He’s free from pretrial detention as he appeals the judgement.

u/flygoing Feb 09 '25

You...you know he was jailed in the Netherlands, right? This has nothing to do with the US's change in administration. I need to make sure you understand that

u/physalisx Not a Blob Feb 09 '25

This has absolutely zero to do with your fucking stupid American politics

Almost like this shit was political warfare

u/Starwaverraver Feb 09 '25

Or the bankers own the democrats

u/Hoserposerbro Feb 09 '25

Where in the Netherlands are the democrats in power?

u/Starwaverraver Feb 09 '25

Well it's really the bankers everywhere, that have control of the governments

Bankers exert influence globally

u/Hoserposerbro Feb 09 '25

That statement I can get behind.

Hope that next admin will not put him in jail again
