Today, Finnish appeals court increased the sentence of #Vastaamo extortionist #Kivimäki by 8 months (to 83). He's still considered first-timer and will have to serve only half of the sentence.
However since Kivimäki was set free pending this decision, he has escaped Finland to an unknown foreign location.

Radiossa mainostetaan HBO:n dokkaria Aleksanteri Kivimäestä. Jos sille nilkille menee jenikin tuohon dokumenttiin osallistumisesta... saa koko HBO:n johtoporras haistaa persettä. MIKSI kaikille tälläisille nilkeille pitää antaa puheenvuoro ja lisää julkisuutta (=joku saa tehdä vähän lisää fyrkkaa toisten kärsimyksellä)? 🤬
Perun ilkeät sanani jos Vastaamon uhrit ovat antaneet suostumuksen tuotannolle ja sarjan kaikki tuotto menee heille.
Kivimäki walks free during appeal over Vastaamo data breach:
It was one of the most vicious and disturbing data breaches of all time. If I ruled the world, he'd never see the light of day for even one day.
For those seeking background, just search databreaches.net for "Vastaamo" and then "Kivimaki"

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.
