That beeotch deserves it. What a landmark. Let’s see. She’s one of three people who scammed $242 million dollars. Of her share, she’s returning $48.5 million to the bank. Oh, and she’s paying the government $5 million for some reason that isn’t reported, and then she’s paying a $15k fine. Put it this way, she actually didn’t scam 242 million *dollars*, it’s in local currency of the region, Nairas. The article is a bit misleading about that I think. 242 million Nairas = $1,816,135 and .08 cents USD as of the currency exchange. Still a lot of money for sure however.
For stealing all the money, she gets two and a half years in jail, and even that was backdated to start when she was first taken into custody in January of 2004? Yeah. They’re really cracking down over there in Nigeria.
If anyone is dumb enough to fall for one of these scam emails, they deserve to lose their money. Same goes for spam, if no one was dumb enough to buy anything from it they’d stop sending it.
