Apparently it's a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

Where did you read that? They bailed to Monaco when the sentence was given over a family member in intensive care. But they have strong financial ties in Switzerland on top of the Swiss nationality.

Oh and they have to pay nearly a million to the victims.

IDK Swiss law but I'd still bet they start losing assets quickly if they don't report to jail.

Exactly. And I bet there's plenty of money in mansions, cars, jewelry and bank assets.
