The payback happened through a fund, where victims could apply, I suppose.
The sentence was to pay back 17 billion and 150 years in prison, so it was inevitable that he’d die in prison. The losses were estimated to be 18 billion, so he got off one billion short in that regard.
However, he paid another heavy price. Both sons died before him. One of them off’ed himsel on the anniversary of his father’s arrest.
(To be honest, I just googled all of that. I’ve never heard any details on this case before because I live on the opposite side of the globe.)
