Mr Bloom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 10 years! How long are the big bankers going to get then? Maybe he should have given a few pence back as a gesture, then that would have sweetened everyone up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Chaos Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think all the people saying they'd do ten years inside have a really weird set of values... They probably like dropping soap in the showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 No mention of course of the fact that his selfish greed has probably cost lives. How like you that you choose to ignore this and at the same time say you wish you'd thought of it. Do you, I wonder sell fake products and services to the elderly and vulnerable as a nice little earner on the side? ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 22:28 ---------- You think gaining millions on false pretences is a good thing? You're such a sweetheart Adam, such a doll. Buyer beware buyer beware! Blame the buyer not the sellers, if they are stupid enough to buy some thing that is total trash then who's at fault ???????

Mister M Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Don't criminals have their ill gotten gains seized if they are convicted of a crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthenekred Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Buyer beware buyer beware!

If you sell a trash item disguised as fit for purpose then the seller is no less trash than the item they are selling. I'm guessing because of your cynical ill repute that this concept comes as a little alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Don't criminals have their ill gotten gains seized if they are convicted of a crime? In theory they do. In practice, criminals are not stupid and can be quite skilful when it comes to hiding assets from the authorities. I think, under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the authorities get something like 7% back of what they go for. They also have a special offer, where the criminal can pay up, or, do extra time. For me, I don't think it's right; fining people for crime. For a poor person, that may totally wipe out their savings; while a rich person may not even notice the loss (they have that much). Instead, we should make it a level playing-field and punish the poor and rich equally; either by time in prison, or by amputation of limbs. ---------- Post added 03-05-2013 at 16:40 ---------- Also, it's likely that the people buying these devices, knew they were fake; but bought them because they were getting some kind of 'cash-back' deal...
