A suspended sentence is a legal term for a judge's delaying of a defendant's serving of a sentence after they have been found guilty, in order to allow the defendant to perform a period of probation. If the defendant does not break the law during that period, and fulfils the particular conditions of the probation, the judge usually throws out the sentence So, savior isn't really going to jail, unless he screws up and gets caught betting on GSL matches or something. | ||

Savior has turned into a real life Kenny Powers. I agree, but when you make it into a sport you can expect this kind of things...still think that jail time is a bit too much. Nerds in jail? They ain't gonna be able to sit down for years  | ||

Im sure that hes in there for a year then will be out on suspended sentence after that 1 year. (in savior's case) Because it is not. As far as I understand it, it is 1 year suspended sentence with 2 year probation, which means he will be watched for 2 years and if he commits crime in that time he will go to jail for one year (+ whatever will be added for the new crime). And being watched does not necessarily mean having to see someone regularly (although it is possible), just that if he commits crime he will serve time both for this sentence and for the new one. | ||

Yes, it's a pretty serious offence, but it's not like their all sitting with the shivers, and a gun in their hand just waiting to rob a liquor store Well fraud might not be as bad as threatening someone's life but it ain't something to take lightly either. The fact the they used a video game to commit fraud is irrelevant. i'm glad they aren't going to jail. | ||

I can't say I disagree with the court's decision. I wonder what'll happen to these players once their sentence is over. | ||

In a lot of ways they're victims themselves too, I imagine after only accepting one time the criminal gambling types had enough power over any of them to push them to more. I know, the other day this guy offered me money to steal something. I should've taken it, huh? They took money in a way that is ILLEGAL. Sometimes, when do you illegal things, you go to JAIL. That's the way a penal system works. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime (yeah yeah, don't do it...if somebody recognizes that quote I'll be impressed ;b). Plus, they aren't going to jail, they have a suspended sentence and a heap of community service. Totally fair, imo. And a HUGE LOL to the "some people aren't made for jail" thing. Yeah, like I shouldn't ever have to go to jail because it's just not very convenient for me. | ||
