Man, I guess stealing a billion dollars and getting busted and put in prison means your choices for stuff get reduced. Who would have thought?!

They said jail, not prison, and he’s “facing charges”. He’s not proven guilty yet

He's in jail because he was intimidating and trying to bribe witnesses. And even in the jail he has special access to internet.
