We have all been following the Hushpuppi Saga, The more i read about Hushpuppi the more i realize that many Young Nigerians will follow in his footsteps. Its rumored he stole more than $400 million and he faces 20 years in prison. Thats roughly a year for each $20 million he stole. Question i am wondering will you go to prison for a year for $20 million?

watch how some illiterate will answer

The question is misleading. It gives the impression that the money remains with the thief after the jail term while in reality, a comprehensive recovery exercise would leave them with little to nothing to show for the year spent in jail.

Again, while the mathematics is correct, it does not reflect reality. 400m for 20yrs might imply 20m for 1yr but other factors like how old and healthy you would be when you leave the jail and how long you'd have to live to enjoy the money in the case of 400m make the two not to be equivalent. In other words, breaking it down to 20m/yr only makes his case appealing to the criminally minded.

Considering how well we know how Hushpuppi spends money , going by the Instagram pics. I doubt they will be able to recover 50%. I doubt this to be a person that saves. Yes they will sell the cars but you cannot get even 70% back from used cars as they have a high depreciation, He lived in one of the most expensive places in Dubai (You cannot get the rents back).He loved to make it rain (You can get rain dollars back). Prison is supposed to be determent , even death sentences in asia countries has not prevented people from smuggling drugs and i doubt 20 years in prison will be a determent

True. More the reason why I feel the question does not reflect reality cause the money won't be there when the prison term is completed.
