I really wish crimes like these were punished proportionately. Forcing poverty on people is violence and it shouldn't be possible to duck responsibility. So often they just go somewhere else and run another scam.
And that’s the thing. Yeah on paper this guy only committed you know, a few hundred million dollars worth of crime. No biggie. But what’s the downstream effect of that? A single mother couldn’t afford a house that should have been affordable so had to move to a poverty stricken area. She no longer had access to a safe and reliable grocery store so her kids get sick more often. Her son missed a lot of school from illness so he fell behind. With poor grades he lost his chance of higher education and eventually due to proximity got in with a gang. He dies at 17 in gang violence. Can you directly tie the two together? Not in a court of law, but that’s the reality with shit like this.
