Gizmondo CEO Stefan Eriksson famous for wreking an Ferarrari Enzo gets 18 Months for robbery, blackmail, threat & Fr

Post by froggyboy604 »

Stefan Eriksson, head of Gizmondo (the failed handheld gaming company), was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for robbery, attempted blackmail and making illegal threats (which threats are legal?).

Eriksson is famous for crashing a rare Ferrari, escaping at least one prison sentence, possibly having a movie made about him, leading some sort of mafia in Sweden in the 1990s and making Gizmondo. Referred to in his native Sweden as "Fat Stefan," because he's fat, Eriksson will serve 18 months in prison for his many mafia crimes.

Well, at least he won't be wrecking anymore exotic cars while putting the driving public, and pedestrians in danger for 18 months.

It seems like a somewhat light sentance since the average person who make threats, steals a Ferrari, and blackmail someone probably go to jail for longer then 18 months.

Could this be another case of Celebrity Justice gone wrong, or do you feel the judge was fair and impartial?
