Facing 40,564 years in jail - pdq - 09-02-2022 No, not him, unfortunately. Faruk Fatih Özer, the founder and CEO of the now-defunct [Turkish] crypto exchange Thodex, has been arrested… Özer fled following the collapse of Thodex in April 2021: he initially claimed a halt in trading was due to cyberattacks, and that investors' money was safe, before disappearing. ![]() Thodex was founded in 2017, and its initial success was largely down to the wider context of Turkey's state currency, the Turkish lira, undergoing a period of rapid inflation. This led to crypto acquiring mainstream traction in the country as an apparently more safe option than the fluctuating lira... It's a sobering reminder that…this company was not just defrauding big-pocketed investors but ordinary people looking to safeguard their financial future. Say Turkish state prosecutors: "A prison sentence of 40,564 years is sought for each of these 21 people, including Özer, as over 2,000 people are included in the indictment as complainants." Too bad it’s not this other grifter I know of. Re: Facing 40,564 years in jail - GGD - 09-02-2022 Maybe good behavior will shave a couple of years off of that.
