This is my first time coming across such news, so I want to be transparent with my comment.
Besides the fact that he used a fake identity, crypto scams are something we all discourage because we clearly understand the negative effects they bring to the crypto community. It's unfortunate that even correctional centers are failing to do their work. He clearly knows how tough it's going to be in SA; that's why he made the exit. Basically, a person involved in cybercrime shouldn't be granted access to electronics. So, I must say that necessary actions need to be taken if it's actually true.
NO TO CRYPTO SCAM.

Is there no place to report or try to put pressure on the case of Brazilian prisons? These fraudsters have influence, so even after they go to prison they receive better treatment than ordinary people. Let us only hope that his behavior in prison changes and that he stops doing illegal behavior.
