1 year of sentence, 2 years of suspended sentence means that the minimum sentence for financial fraud is 3 years. But instead of put your ass into jail for 3 years, the law will let you serve 1 year in the slammer and 2 years of probation. The lawyer probably pulls some sort of deals or whatever to lighten Savior's sentence. | ||

Read OP THEY ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL It's just habits of Korean court to tell sentence first even if criminals actually get suspended sentence Korean court usually do not order first-time offenders to go jail unless guilt is too serious | ||

Here is why match-fixing is bad: Gamblers makes bets with the assumption that the payout is slightly better than 1:1, because they have some internal knowledge/belief that the betting line is not entirely accurate. Match-fixing turns what should be a 50/50 bet into a 100/0 bet. Those on the 0 side have been defrauded of their money, because the 50/50 expectation was not true. Imagine if I'm playing roulette, but the casino is using a wheel where it always lands on Red. If I bet Black, the Casino essentially stole money from me. In match-fixing, it's a third-party rather than the "house" who's doing the defrauding, but the victim is no better off. This is exactly the same as someone investing in a company with the belief the stock price will go up, but the stock price plummets to zero because the company lied about its prospects for success. Aka securities fraud. It's also the same as me selling you a defective laptop, because you assumed the laptop would only have a .01% chance of failing rather than the actual percentage of 100%. Aka consumer fraud. Defrauders are dangerous to society because money is just as important, if not more-so, to the wellbeing of an individual than their physical safety. | ||
