It's quite "funny" how harsch and pityless the court sentences are when the case involves money and big companies.
When it's a minor no-name robbing, beating up, and sometimes even raping, another no-name, the sentence is usually far less severe.

Less harsh than probation and a fine? I think you are making things up

Most of what you're talking about are felony charges. You can have misdemeanors and be fine for the rest of your life. But for Life, if they classify it as a Felony, then yes, he would be royally screwed in the US. But it would also pertain to the seriousness of the crime as well. Match-fixing an online game wouldn't be taken as serious here as over there, so he could rebound if he came here.

match-fixing has got to be the dumbest thing to get conned into. you are getting too many people involved, eventually it's so easy for someone to rat. The 60k not worth all the BS and people have been caught in the past.....

just the three year probation alone, could he have made that 60k in that time? was it really worth a kespa ban for 60k??

Goes to show how easily kids can be manipulated, and how greedy...

The court also dismissed similar appeals from BBoongBBoong and Enough related to their sentencing in match-fixing related crimes.

It's cool to see this be a consistent thing.

KeSPA noticed that they`re gonna file a compensation suit against the people concerned.

I haven't followed SC2 in a bit, but is this the same Life that won Blizzcon like 2 years ago? The same Life that back in 2012 or 2013 when MLG was still a thing he won it over Flash?

Yeah it's the same bloke. He fixed 2 series by going 3-1 instead of potentially 3-0'ing some dudes, and then got slammed by KeSPA.

Some people suggest it's a bit of a problem in the infrastructure that he got paid more by gambling sites to throw than the champion of the tournament got paid to win.

Not just kids mate, anyone can be manipulated when it's easy money to take. "Just throw this game and you will earn more in a day then you have in the last year" seems pretty easy, whats the harm is just tanking one game?

Lets not get over dramatic, it is just one crime and a relatively minor one, I am guessing he still got a very healty bank acount for his age. He won't do prison it is just a fine

Most university are still going to accept him, the best one may not but the public one will at least look at it and in programs that don't make cut at the entrance, most of humam science, comunication, art and some administration programs he should be able to enter. He was not guilty of gun possession, rape or murder it was just illegal gambling.

Finding a good job is going to be a lot harder but it is very much douable, the offense is not that bad and he can always try to defends himself in interview blaming it on his age or the pression from the mob.

His life is not over at, he made it a lot more difficult that it needed to be but all and all a criminal record vs a 200k+ bank acount for a 18 years old his not that bad.

I would be a lot more worry for b4 or Enough.

good thing they are destroying his life , because of the "damage he did" , just make him pay a fee.. instead of making 2 month of agonizing drama.. that surely did much more damage than if they shut their mouth and ask for a reasonable fee..

this shows how doing the right can damage way more , they did infinitely more damage , banning the best player in the world and byong , and making public the case , how does that helped the scene ? they did inmeasurable damage to the scene.. nobody woulda given a fuck if they didn't do this..

He seemed like really the next big player for years to come in the SC2 scene, only to throw it away for really short term gain. It also sucks that Blizzcon 2014 and all his other LAN wins are basically tainted (you might as well put a Barry Bonds * beside his achievements)

That said, I don't think some people on this thread should say he should never have a chance at life (no pun intended) again, for committing something seemingly and only unforgiveable in the competitive video game world
