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

      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.

    We need the death penalty for something like this in the US. Caning is also an appropriate punishment IMO. I don't care if the crime isn't considered violent, his actions have undoubtedly led to some deaths of despair and his punishment should reflect that.
