Would they emerge wiser than all others ready to better the world with untold accumulated knowledge or deranged beyond belief, ready to tear the world apart?

After their sentence is served, they will be stripped of their immortality and promptly be sent to Florida.

By the year 13,000 and change, The Simpsons will still be on.

His lawyer stated that he could plea bargain it down to 2,000 years plus parole.

Take it.

All the crook has to do is pray cryogenics works and volunteer being a guinea pig. Wake up in the year 4023, get released, and celebrate freedom going to McDonald’s. Big Mac combos will still be around except the price will be about $1,500.

The shadow government doesn't want to tell us he's a time traveler and have lived for 11195yrs already, so he'll be out in a year

 

[ahtlas7]

He will have to live a lot of years to fulfill that obligation.

 

[GeekyDad]

Is that butterfly years?

 

[Dr.D00p]

Lol..prosecutors asked for a 40,000yr sentence.

Harsh.

 

[Sonik]

Amateur, he should have committed those crimes in the US and got a fine that is tiny fraction of what he scammed, that's what all the bankers do

 

[sono]

Put him on a space ship to explore the galaxy

Good idea for a novel, that.

He stole 2 billion with crypto fraud. Turkish prisons are super fun.

Yeah Aizen was my first thought

 

[Melon Husk]

If you account for Turkish inflation it's only 6 years

Make it the sequel to In Time...

And off he goes for a grand old time.

 

[BlackTron]

It might seem silly, but, it's probably just that the prosecutor threw every count they could at him for the max time, maximizing the chance he would serve time even not all of the counts stuck (which they did). So even if his defense did some amazing job shielding him from this or that, massive time would still be remaining.

It's not like some smug lawyer or judge said "jail him for 11,000 years" just to be funny

 

[Darkmakaimura]

You ever seen a grown man naked?

When that guy dies, his ghost is going to be in that cell for the next 11,000 plus years. Fuck.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Prosecutors had asked for Ozer to be sentenced to 40,562 years in prison, AFP reported.

He got off light.

 

[Woggleman]

When he gets out GTA V will release for PS30.

 

[FeralEcho]

So fraud gets you 11.000 years served yet murder gets you 10 to 20...hmmmm i wonder why this world is so fucked.

Also if fraud is so bad why are all governments and big corporations not bankrupt and ceo's,governers in hancuffs serving time?!

The years were compounded because of the # of victims affected by the fraud, which according to the report is over 2000 people. A person may only get 10-20 years if they murdered a person, but they would get a whole lot more years if they murdered 2000 people.

I guess but fraud versus murder? I know which one I'd find more aggregious.

Well, murder for sure. I don't know what the laws in Turkey are like, but in the US, murder does carry the longest prison sentences on the average.

 

[ReBurn]

What's that in American years? I know they're having some serious inflation over there.

This is the world we live in.

You can argue that fraud is simply a crime against stupid people, but murder is something close to unforgivable.

In the US or any country with weak judicial systems, that 11,196 years would probably be more like 11 months of probation. Cut in half for good behaviour.

This has been an idea ive had to make into a movie.

When people are given X life sentences, once they die they get brought back to life to keep serving the rest of their sentences.
