"The longest prison sentence ever handed out ..."

"... was to a postman who failed to deliver 42,768 letters (9 years for each letter)"

Top Reddit comments...
a) How does he not deliver that many letters
b) How can one get nine years for not delivering a letter

So it's hard to find info on this guy, but here's a Spanish language site that, based on the translation, suggests some kinda serious shit went down.
The dude arranged for mail to be re-routed to different locations so he could steal the checks and valuables inside. He stole €50,000 and ultimately was sentenced to 14 years, 2 months.

Darron Bennalford Anderson's accomplice, McLaurin, was sentenced to 21,250 years, but upon appeal, his sentence was reduced by 500 years.
Boy, he sure dodged a bullet there.
Newman!

Clark AB had several bags of mail stolen. My check to pay AT&T for my (very) long distance phone usage was endorsed by someone who wrote her name and "AT&T" on the back, and routed through a bank in Hong Kong, and then New York, and then wherever until it finally reached my bank and I got the check back. Apparently there was no trouble at all cashing the checks they stole.
