How is this guy not in jail yet ?
Tbh it's not that simple. We don't even know 100% for certain what really happened (even though we have strong indications); all we have from his side, so far, is a reply that he lost
his BTC with BS&T, like anyone else, too. But no information about what happened to users' BTC. So, if there's that little public information out there, I don't see how anyone would go to jail for that.
Also, it's not like prosecuting authorities get to know about such cases and just throw people right into jail. Such events usually precede a conduction of criminal investigation and then, they will decide 1) if the material is enough to prove if someone's even guilty and 2) what kind of punishment is chosen. It's not like every egg thief (or even worse) goes right into jail, even though this seems to be a pretty common expectation among users in Cryptoland.
Also:
- It really wasn't enough money to warrant the feds getting involved (I'm guessing OG made $8k-$15k, I think Pirateat got 18 months for $1.5 million)
- Anyone who sent OG their money had it stolen assume the guy who stole it went to prison for it.
Did a little more blockchain digging.
Between April 10 and August 17 Og sent
BTC12351.01614 to Pireateat.
BTC5673.310835 were received.
I need to go through and look at all the transactions during the time period to and from Ogs wallet though. These are just Og <==> Pirateat transactions.
