World's Longest Prison Sentence

Question = Who has been awarded the World's Longest Prison Sentence ?

                

Answer = 

Chamoy Thipyaso, Thailand who in 1989 was given a jail term of 141,078 years.

Chamoy Thipyaso was the wife of a high ranking member of the Royal Thai Air Force and an employee of the Petroleum Authority of Thailand. She is known for receiving the world's longest prison sentence for her involvement in a pyramid scheme that defrauded 16,231 people out of a total of about £2 million Thais and is estimated to have been worth between $200–300 million. Given that some of her victims had allegedly been members of the Thai royal household, she probably wasn’t expecting leniency.

On July 27, 1989 Thipyaso and seven accomplices were convicted of corporate fraud. She was sentenced to a total of 141,078 years in prison but Thai law at the time stated that the maximum sentence that could be served for fraud was 20 years. In actuality, she only served about eight years of the sentence. Thipyaso, however, was lucky in one respect because in 1989 Thai law decreed that regardless of the sentence given, the maximum time anyone could actually spend behind bars for fraud was 20 years
