Crime happened in July 2024
He can drag until May 2025 and SPF still give him time to pay up.
This chap already planned to exchange jail time for payday

Go to jail just for $125k? His life is cheap.
Most people can earn this amount. It is not $125 million.

Let's compare it to Japan
An American business owner in Japan lost his passport wallet in the rain with three ¥10,000 bills inside.
What happened next is why Japan's different.
He tracked the wallet to police headquarters using an Apple AirTag.
When he arrived to claim it the next morning, he expected the documents back.
Maybe.
He never expected the cash to still be there.
The clerk brought out a tray covered in newspaper.
Every card was laid out in a row to dry. His health insurance card was in a ziplock bag.
Newspaper was placed between every page of his passport so the pages wouldn't stick together.
The AirTag had been removed so the wallet could dry properly.
Three ¥10,000 bills were paper-clipped to newspaper so they could dry without sticking. All ¥30,000 still there. Not a single yen missing.
No questions about his visa status. No interrogation about why he had so much cash. Just excellent service from start to finish. The finder had turned in everything exactly as they found it.
Japanese people turned in 4.5 billion yen in lost money to police in 2025 alone. That's $30 million in cash that could have been pocketed. Instead it was returned to strangers.
This is what a high-trust society actually looks like in practice.

They dun calculate that way. Let’s say one year jail he will think it’s worth it coz his income is less than 125k per year . Free food board and health care too for doing nothing
