Garbage journalism. Starts off by implying he's innocent, half way down you learn he did in fact defraud the bank to the tune of $350 million of a $500M loan, and done so with fabricated invoices. This was not a misunderstanding.
Why should I care if a spoiled white colonialist from Africa, already obscenely wealthy, spends his life in jail for defrauding a bank for $350M? Imho, this was actually justice served to a white collar criminal, for once.
