A find, and community service is a good way to go about it. Soceity won't profit from young gamers with sensible minds being manipulated by murderers in jail. And if you feel individual despair is more important than the better of the society, you know one of the reasons for prisons being a billion dollar industry in you know where, and why the world is crazy | ||

I guess I am more sad/disappointed that young decently well-off people resorted to crime. I kind of feel bad though about the criminal records/social ostracizing etc I hope theyre not like super fucked for life. | ||

Savior has turned into a real life Kenny Powers. They are not going to jail over a video game....its not like they stole some WoW items and are being jailed for it... They are being jailed for match fixing a sporting event....Jail sentences seem reasonable in this case, they all get what they deserve. | ||

I have an Aunt who works with the Justice Department here, Generally you will serve 1/6th of your sentence before you get out on Probation based on a review of your behavior. Whether or not any of this is relavent in a different system of law still remains to be noted, but regardless I think it is safe to say that these people WILL be going to jail. Getting sentenced to jail time then being told you only go there if your bad again is kind of a useless system. There is really no justification in saying they deserve a degree of lenience because they are either young or accomplished videogame professionals. Im sure they were smart enough to know they were frauding and stealing from people when they set up the details of fixing their matches. | ||

If you violate the terms of your Probation you are sent back to Jail to serve the remaining amount of your time.

If they were sentenced to a term + Probation they will go to jail for a portion or all of the sentence given and then potentially be let out on Probation after that time. The OP just defined Probation wrong and now has the entire thread confused. | ||

It doesnt damages anyone, and no one is poisoning himself with coke or anything. It's just gambling with money. Wtf is wrong with that ? Uh...It's really not "just gambling". The players involved were taking money to throw games so that people who were mass betting could take advantage of it. Not only that, they were going on the same websites themselves and betting AGAINST themselves to further profits made. It's fraud, plain and simple. There is absolutely no way to justify it. | ||
