There’s some serious charges against Ryan Lang in the Black Friday case. Apparently he has entered into a guilty plea to charges of money laundering associated with the Black Friday investigation, and is facing as much as 30 years in prison.

What do you make of this call? Harsh or fitting for the crime?
kinda lame.. in the big scheme of things, he is small fry. Everyone above him walks.
From the FT guys, to Tzetkoff who is FBI protection.Lang did less damage to people, then what FT did with the running of their business?
Quote:Lang was a middleman who helped gaming companies disguise payments to Americans, circumventing U.S. laws in the process. Gaming proceeds were disguised to look like payments from innocuous Internet retailers instead of gambling sites. Under U.S. law, gambling online isn’t illegal, but processing and receiving profits from that gambling is illegal.Very keen insight… So you feel that Lang is bearing the brunt of the punishment and is not deserving of such a major sentence?
I don’t know the specifics but it does seem very harsh.
When the gov. decides to ‘make a point’ they pick a scapegoat and ‘stick it to him’.
