Anon on a Turkish scammer.

Man i know his actions probably killed a bunch of people indirectly in the long run or something but he really got a harder sentence than some attempted murderers

it's what happens when you have a court system with a retributive mindset

[-]

He created an app called “Ranch Bank” where you could buy cows that were supposedly backed by real cows at a real ranch. Not just cows but chicken, goats etc.. You could then sell their milk, cheese, eggs etc for a profit. And yeah it is dumb as it sounds but people who got in early made a lot of money. Just a giant ponzi, was a big thing in Turkey when it happened.

The crypto mindset really is cancerous.

"Backed by real cows"? FFS

Stablecoin cows...

[-]

XchrisZ@reddit

Better than what my currency is backed by. If my currency was backed by a yard of dirt at least then I know it's not going to get inflated away.

[-]

The_Knife_Pie@reddit

A cow is the least stable thing you could pick. Not only does the value fluctuate based on the amount of other cows, you run the risk of your asset permanently disappearing with no warning and your investment getting destroyed (death).

[-]

improbablydrunknlw@reddit

Known diminishing assets insure everyone is spending cows and not holding them forever. The cowconomy will be a rocket.

[-]

Tthelaundryman@reddit

My farts are backed by real cows. Anyone wanna buy them?

[-]

windowtothesoul@reddit

Cattle futures are highly traded commodity derivatives you know..

Cows are already in stables.

Bernie Madoff also did a Ponzi scheme. Dumb comment

You could squint and pretend he’s just a fat girl too, bro will not survive in prison

[-]

FD4L@reddit

Survive? He will be well loved. Lifers will fight viciously for the privilege of his company.

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

Nah man, that's not how it works. No one is fighting over him. He's just the bitch of some prison gang now where they take turns violently fucking him on a daily basis.

Mind you he got sentenced in 2016, so his butthole must be well stretched by now.

His life would suck regardless. At least he got to feel what it's like to be normal for a bit. It's not often you look at someone and just know it's never gonna work out

[-]

mcsquirley@reddit

$42 million…normal…huh

[-]

PointsOfXP@reddit

You think he spent it like a millionaire? Bro had no idea what to even do with it. That's why he got caught with it

[-]

Thin_General_8594@reddit

What's worse, to be a man who only knows mediocrity, or to be a man who had everything for a fleeting moment, and permenantly lost it all

[-]

k3id0@reddit

Idk bro but honestly I would have stopped at the first million or two. He got too greedy and found out

[-]

PointsOfXP@reddit

The fleeting moment. Every second of every day

It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Impossible_Arrival21@reddit

i personally completely disagree with this, i never had heartache or the desire to love someone until i fell into it by accident, then they left me and i've had a hole in my heart ever since that i need to fill or i don't feel normal

[-]

SirBruceForsythCBE@reddit

I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all

[-]

BrunesOvrBrauns@reddit

If you consider the over/under of what his ceiling really was limited to, this is actually the best life he could have had.

He got to fly high for a minute...

[-]

Thin_General_8594@reddit

But now he has to live the rest of his life remembering those moments in a cell, he's even lower than he started as the dishwasher

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

Not just a cell, a Turkish prison cell, which is among the worst prison cells you can end up in.

BrunesOvrBrauns@reddit

I was gonna quote Vision's "a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts" but I think I'll settle for:

Boris7939@reddit

I much rather live in mediocrity all my life than be filthy rich for a short while (which, you need to know, doesn't make you as happy like most people think) and then end up in the absolute hell hole that is Turkish prison.

Hell, I would even rather live below mediocrity than end up in Turkish prison.

[-]

dagon_xdd@reddit

yeah this guy was a huge meme here in Turkey. half of the population was immensely surprised that this was a scam while the other half immediately expected that this was going to happen. how the time flies

He has said

Efficient_Big3968@reddit

Here’s a link to a Feb 2025 article by Turkish Minute that has more info. It’s got a more recent picture of him too.

[-]

morbnowhere@reddit

He looks like that stupid chill guy meme, glad he's rotting just for that

altSHIFTT@reddit

Who is this? Is this recent?

[-]

skull_fucker79@reddit

nah i was like 12 when this happened

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

This happened last year. So you're 13 now?

[-]

skull_fucker79@reddit

i meant when he fleed

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

This is Mehmet Aydın.

Yes it was pretty recent, he got sentenced on February 3, 2025.

[-]

Rexxer101@reddit

Why is he handcuffed with zip ties

[-]

theyeshman@reddit

Zips are fairly common as cuffs worldwide. Even in the US where in most cities and counties every cop has a set of cuffs zips are sometimes used for mass arrests.

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

Yeah exactly, zip ties ar much easier to carry around. They're also often used by undercover cops for that reason.

[-]

TheYeast1@reddit

They assumed they wouldn’t need steel cuffs for his tiny wrists

[-]

biogoly@reddit

Looks like a Turkish SBF.

firuz0@reddit

Fun fact some: of the scammed got scammed for another round by some scammers claiming they could help the scammed with getting their money back.

Yep. “Marks”

How is selling digital cows a Ponzi scheme? Sounds like he found something to trick r-slurs into giving him money for nothing.

[-]

How come no one these dumb ass thiefs have lived happily every after story? There has to be.

[-]

skull_fucker79@reddit

there's logan paul

[-]

Boris7939@reddit

Because it's only when they get caught that you hear their story.

The ones who live happily ever after are the ones you don't hear about. I mean they're not going to tell their story are they? That would basically be confessing to their crimes and getting caught.

[-]

WhiteCatWizardHat@reddit

What are fake digital cows

[-]

emrednz07@reddit

u/hornytheunicorn summed it up well

He created an app called “Ranch Bank” where you could buy cows that were supposedly backed by real cows at a real ranch. Not just cows but chicken, goats etc.. You could then sell their milk, cheese, eggs etc for a profit. And yeah it is dumb as it sounds but people who got in early made a lot of money.
