During the sentencing, the "steady lads" tweet was repeatedly mentioned—four times in total. Do Kwon ultimately received 15 years.

A warning to all crypto founders: every tweet you post could be used as evidence in court. Don’t think that casually saying things on social media is harmless.

A tweet is evidence, this guy is too careless. Just casually posting "steady lads" can become an admissible exhibit in court.

A single tweet can be translated four times. This guy must have really offended the judge. But then again, those in this industry really need to be cautious with their words.

I'll just say it, this guy really got himself nailed by his own tweet. The judge mentioned that "steady lads" four times... I felt bad for him. 15 years, brother, that's no small amount.

Tweets can be sentenced to 15 years; this guy really took it to the extreme.

A single joke on Twitter can be turned into evidence; these days, social media is like a courtroom. Do Kwon has truly learned his lesson.
