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.

Basically the whole model of Better Help.

According to this report [1] the appeal was about specific requirements like encryption, and he claimed he had delegated it. So it is clear that it is hard to actually hold people responsible. > The appellate court rejected the prosecution's argument and dismissed all charges.

Apart from therapy, I expect a lot of sensitive and private information to be hacked and released in the next 10 years. Most importantly, all non securely encrypted text based communications.
