Four months in the nick for god knows how many thousands of quid, and free tv for a while, sounds better than years for for armed robbery. Bank job or IPTV, you can see why so many do it.

I would imagine its hard to calculate how much he would have to pay back...

They could if slapped him with a huge fine aswell though.
4 months is a lucky escape for him.

[alimac]

4 months was added to the 12 months for watching the content he supplied = 16 months

Is not anonymous! So stop spreading FUD. You can trace all bitcoin transactions, and companies that specialise in it. You want anonymous, then use monero.

He had ads on facey and his own app in the playstore with his name on it
so deserves him right for being a knobhead

The investigators don't have funds to stake out your pad and wire taps they let the bigwig idiots virtually come to them.

Own app and Facebook ?, that's like a flasher wearing a mask then having his postcode written on his nudger.

I'd be ok, they'd never find me off 1/2 a postcode

Nothing to do with bitcoin, he needs his 5 posts @janobi

Ahh yes. I must tell people it's my service! And advertise on funkbook to get more sales. We all know that one who does that stuff...

@Joe Noodles - how'd you know he had his own app? You know who the stream name was by chance? Wondering if it was MM...

 

[Kryton]

Wondering if it was MM...

I f@cking hope so.

 

[janobi]

I f@cking hope so.

I'd PMP if it was. But we know he was making serious ££

I know a guy who got done for ABH and the other guy lost sight in his left eye kicking him in the head while down,
he got 20 months.
Weres the f@ckin perspective here, 16 month for TV crime, 20 months for nearly killing someone.
Christ, you wouldn't get 16 month for a hit n run while driving pi$$ed.
This IPTV guy got an extra 4 month for watching it !. Based on the crime and punishment half of Britain would be in jail

I used to know someone (very good friend during teen years), and he showed up during one of my internet stalking swoops.

He closed down (2017) a good portion of our town due to waving a crossbow at police out of a window. It provoked a large armed response.

Ten crown court appearances, not all required to attend. I was following the case on a court services-fed site.

Charged with Threats to Kill, False Imprisonment, Assault Occasioning ABH.

18 month suspended. In the end I had to phone the court to find the result. Shame it wasn't earlier, as I knew a couple of people that worked there. That should have been an immediate custodial sentence.

Rant over . Sort of...
