Aleksanteri Kivimäki - the person who mercilessly extorted psychotherapy centre patients with the leaked patient data - has been released from prison.

Generally, I feel that the Finnish justice system is doing a fairly good job, but in this case, I feel like this is just outright wrong. This person should have served full time and not be considered a first-time offender.

Aleksanteri Kivimäki has been found guilty and sentenced to 6 years and 3 months for extortion and releasing confidential therapy records of the victims of the #vastaamopsychotherapycenter database breach. However due to the lax Finnish legal system he will serve only half of term in prison since he is considered a "first time offender". Consider the various criminal things he has done in the past - such as swatting @briankrebs and perpetrating credit card and other fraud - this feels unjust.
