Financial crimes are handled inversely proportional to how much is stolen and also the wealth of the victims. This guy stole a fuckload, but unfortunately for him he wasn’t using wage theft to steal from poors.

Way too light of sentence. The way financial crimes are viewed by the courts is a fucking joke.

The only reason he’s getting this much is he fucked over investment firms.
If he had just fucked over regular people, he’d maybe do a tenth of this time.

Let’s not kid ourselves. If he stole our money, he would be getting a seven figure job at a hedge fund along with a fat bonus.
