Almost 3 years later ...
I think he stole more that 1M so far.
3 years is fast. In our country we can be lucky if criminals get found guilty in 20 years. It will most likely take few more years until he will use all legal actions and his sentence will be final. At that time 99.9% crypto users will have no ideas what Mintpal was or who Moolah was.
In one sentence I can just say: What and idiot!
