just saw that john karony from safemoon got hit with 100 months in prison. 8+ years for basically stealing from people who trusted him. the crazy part? he walked away with like $9 million before getting caught - luxury cars, expensive homes, the whole thing.

what gets me is how he convinced people there was no rug pull risk, then literally just took their money. the judge called it "closer to theft than fraud" because it was so blatant. victims in court were talking about how they couldn't even buy houses because of this.

karony tried the whole "i was only 25, my brain was still developing" defense lol. didn't work. prosecutors wanted 12 years, he got just over 8. his co-conspirators are either waiting to be sentenced or still on the run. crazy how these schemes fall apart eventually. makes you think about all the other projects people are hyping up right now.
