    “When the punishment for the crime is less than the profits made committing the crime, that is legal immunity. It’s a very, very loud signal in a system of democracy that says, ‘Do it again, only this time, leverage more!’“ - Andreas Antonopoulos

    Yes. Should have been something simple like “pay back every customer you fucked over the money they were robbed + how much that money would have made on the stock market since you stole it”
