From what I recall, as long as he doesn’t interfere with the investigation and doesn’t commit additional crimes, the sentence is automatically reduced to life imprisonment, the ideas is that it gives the convicted person incentive to cooperate.
It’s actually even worse than that. Yuan purchasing power in China is almost 1 to 1 USD for most regular purchases, i.e. groceries in China cost 50 yuan while they cost 50 USD in USA.
It only converts 1 to 7 USD for very large purchases like electric cars, mostly determined by whether said large purchase required materials from outside of China, which would be priced at USD prices.
Thus, the impact of that stolen money is more like 100 million USD in the US.
How does the reprieve work? Is it like parole and are they able to overturn the death sentence with good behavior? Or is it just a waiting period?
Also, 33 million dollar is a lot. It can build schools, provide healthcare, etc.
