Looks like rape sentences can range from 2-8 years in prison, so I'm not sure where JweinCom got 6 months. Either an exaggeration to prove a point or some really uncommon lower sentencing?

Regardless, stealing millions of dollars isn't just stealing from a big company. Profits trickle down. The more profits a company gets, the more likely there are raises, bonuses, and people getting hired. The more profit gets stolen by bootleggers, the more it hurts the working class from earning more and obtaining jobs. That man's decisions hurt hundreds of people's economic situation while benefitting him and his fellow outlaws.

Just to cut off and prevent this from derailing, obviously I was not meaning that literally for every case, but too make a general point about the out of whack way we value financial damage vs sexual trauma. Even looking at purely financial things though, the people who fucked up the whole economy generally got less time than they're asking for here.

I don't have a background in laws, but my ex girlfriend was a lawyer and when studying US criminal code she realized USA laws seems a lot more patriomanialist compared to general latin laws, largely based on Roman civic code.
