Idk, that money is representative of peoples lives. He effectively stole millions of hours of human life for himself. People willing to do that are the incredibly deplorable imo. I do disagree with the death penalty on principle but I am not gonna wring my hands about this guy.

His death penalty was deferred according to someone in this comment section if that brings you comfort.

Chinese death sentences are usually imprisonment unless a new crime is commited, and generally reserved for corruption & other crimes where people nuke trust in public institutions for personal gain

I think how it generally goes in China is that a suspended sentence on the death penalty means life imprisonment in the absence of any new crimes. So he might only serve jail time. But I don't have a serious source on that so don't commit crime in China based on my advice.

(besides that though, I always find it odd how people draw the line at what punishments are acceptable for criminals. Why is locking him in a box forever fine but killing him is excessive? Unless there's a concern of false conviction and a possibility of getting the ruling overturned, life imprisonment doesn't seem like it's the more ethical option.)

Feeding this piece of shit is a further theft of public resources.

Also, with that much diverted money I guarantee you he contributed to someone's death either through his corruption directly or through depriving them of public resources they deserved. And murder should always get the death penalty, no exceptions.
