Terrick Maurice Crosby made a quick $150 in September of 2009 by pawning a stolen laptop.
What seemed like easy money is now hard time: on Thursday, a Collier County judge slapped the 34-year-old with a 25-year prison sentence.
In other words, Crosby just locked himself into earning $.00068 per hour for the next quarter-century.
Crosby faced up to 30 years in prison under Florida's habitual offender law, which states someone convicted of two or more felonies is subject to increased penalties. According to the Associated Press, his criminal shenanigans date back to 1994 in Miami-Dade County, where he was nabbed for robbery, grand theft, burglary, and resisting arrest with violence.
After serving time for violation of probation, he was released from prison in 2006. But police say he stole the laptop from a library at Hodges University in September 2009, and pawned it the same day.
In the least surprising news ever, Crosby represented himself at the ensuing trial.
