Counter-Strike Pro Player Receives 116-Year Prison Sentence For Fraud
A former Counter-Strike professional player has been hit with a huge sentence after a conviction of fraud. Universo Online is reporting (via translations from Business Insider) that Shayene “shAy” Victorio has been sentenced to 116 years in prison, after allegations of fraud were made towards an online store that she helped operate between 2013 and 2017.
Victorio, who parlayed her success at professional Counter-Strike (Global Offensive and 1.6) into a large online following, is accused of operating a storefront that did not deliver on its sales to customers, with more than 100 customers left without items paid for or a refund.
Despite the sentencing, Brazil puts a 30 year limit on prison time for its citizens. Victorio is also appealing the case, stating that her former business partners on the site are to blame, including her ex-husband.
In a statement on her Instagram page (in Portuguese, below), Victorio clarifies that, as she is currently in an appeals process, she has not been arrested yet. She will only be taken into custody if the appeal fails, but her lawyer told Universo Online that they consider the sentence “inhumane,” and that they seek a new decision from the court “under the guise of the principle of innocence.”

Director J.A. Bayona has shared a neat behind-the-scenes photo from a recent night shoot where the lighting created a special effect. “The light from our set accidentally cast on top of a tree and it made it look like a strange cloud from a Miyazaki movie,” Bayona said in his caption.
This image follows a report from Lord of the Rings fansite TheOneRing.net that featured images and details regarding a night shoot in the woods. J.R.R. Tolkien loved trees during his life, and he wrote about them frequently and passionately in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
