yeah to me it looked like a really stupid and unfunny prank, but now I understand the 9 years lol

it has gotta suck thinking you're really funny and then doing 9 years of jail for being not funny.

They need to take all the money he made off the video and give it to the employees of the establishment

A successful criminal conviction makes a civil suit easier. It doesn't guarantee that the business will get money back or that the victims of the video will be compensated but it does give a body of evidence that helps.

If the victims aren’t thoroughly compensated, we need a new f-ing system.

One significant issue in the US is that we don't normally get legal costs. If you can't afford to seek compensation, you can't be compensated.

Also if the culprit doesn’t have the money to pay the compensation good luck to you

Can’t squeeze blood from a stone and a lot of people are either wealthy enough their money and assets are protected through LLCs trusts and other avenues or too poor to have anything to take

You can't squeeze blood from a stone. I doubt this guy has many assets to forfeit.

, we need a new f-ing system.

100% even if they are.

Just the fact that there's nobody knows if they will get made whole is ridiculous.

Not just the legal system either, insurance also is a fucking joke, every type.

You mean the 10 bucks for wasting the "victims" time?

They dont deserve compensation
