He’s done less than seven years of time, shows no remorse and even denies doing it in the first place. You dropped the ball on this Finland, don’t be surprised when he does it again. What a disgusting human being.

So, would it be better if I feigned remorse for a crime I didn't even commit in the first place?

There's a nice episode from darknetdiaries about it https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/159/

Unfortunately that relies on Joe Tidy as the source.

I tend to refrain from being overly critical of journalists who write about me, but Joe Tidy is a special kind of idiot who wrote an entire book about me based mostly around interviews of people who aren't actually the people they claim to be.

I have seen therapists in the past, but never over video calls, and the notes have been kept on paper. Sometimes in person is much better. This rush to put everything online will destroy everyone's privacy even though privacy is the thing we all need.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd bet good money that this dude has some sort of antisocial personality disorder, and really can't be "cured", so to speak. Something tells me he'll try to sneak out of Finland (which is easy due to Schengen), purchase a new passport, and leave Europe. I guess a silver lining here is the possibility that he'll commit crimes in countries with far harsher penalties than Finland. I've lived in Finland myself, and curr…

Harsh punishment doesn't change anything. Criminals are just stupid, mentally ill or in the most sad cases kids. In my country they actually do put away people for life and yet we still have crime.

Some criminals are neither stupid nor mentally ill. I suspect this man is neither although he could be a psychopath.

Well, we keep hearing that the Nordic Countries are the happiest on Earth. (Which I don't buy even if they do get some things right.)
