Serious question from a crypto outsider: is four months long enough to deter future grifts? Will Zhu’s detention increase likelihood of further prosecutions?

Spending 4 months anywhere in Singapore without air-conditioning would deter me from pretty much anything. I imagine the experience in a prison cell is worse.

The prison is next to the airport - both named Changi after the original kampong village nearby.

So hot, humid and noisy.

Interesting fact, Changi was a fairly brutal prisoner of war camp where allied forces were kept by the Japanese during world war 2. My grandfather's brother was kept there during the war.

Channel News Asia produced a really good documentary about Singapore prison: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/watch/inside-maximum-securit....

I read this as not about running a scam, but failing to help the people dealing with the cleanup with their work. A sort of procedural sanction.

this procedural issue isn’t really related to crypto

its someone that didnt show up

Well...usually it is the procedure of finding out what exactly they did wrong, which tends to have something to do with them running away from that particularly procedure.

yeah I think we all got that

Well, "all" except the ones that shouted "but this is unrelated crypto".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
