By that logic, you are also stating that you see two years in jail “for owning not stealing 500 cannabis plants” as a fitting punishment, no? Seems to me one is fine while the other is too high.
I said no such thing... I was just pointing out that financial crimes (especially those deemed clever) are less severely punished than far less than criminalized behaviour that often does not hurt anyone
The impulse to punish other minor infringers more rather than to fix obviously antisocial draconian punishment will never cease to mystify and befuddle me.
