As much as I dislike crypto, this is not a crypto fail story, even though the article paints it like that a few times (or at least the tone implies).
No one should have their finger servered because of other people's greediness.
These are the occasions I wish death penalty was a thing, especially for those cases where the idiots have been caught in the act - there are better things to do with my tax money than making sure they have a place to live in and some nice good meals to go with it.
As a side note. A death penalty case actually costs more than a life sentence.
In the US where they decided to make the punitive system for-profit?
The prison system also doesn't actually make a net-profit even in the US, it only makes money for specific people (the owners of the private prisons and the systems benefitting off of prisoners' free labor). The government actually loses billions of dollars per year maintaining prisons 🙃
