Appropriate punishment for over $27 million of fraud?

Post by Gawd » Wed Jun 23, 2010 11:35 pm

Ok, something NOT about Israel.

What is an appropriate punishment for committing over $27 million of financial fraud? What would you say is an appropriate prison sentence?

None. Put them in to community service instead, cleaning public rest rooms.

Depends on who was defrauded. A higher sentence would be more appropriate for defrauding a charity than a large corporation
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Code: Select all

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

It's defrauding a bank of over US$27 million.

That's the brilliant part, cleaning public toilets for the rest of their lives.

You are very observant. Have a cookie: http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/u-s ... c-1.297935

I didn't make it about Jews, but these people did:
Agudat Israel, a Haredi Jewish communal organization, said in a statement that the sentence marked "a dark day for the American legal system and American Judaism."

"We don't justify Mr. Rubashkin's transgressions but this grave and extraordinary sentence given to one of our Jewish brothers is causing shock and worry in our community. This is a terrible development."
So was it appropriate?

Rather poetic actually, particularly in light of the fact that the prosecution was seeking 25 years.

I don't think it was too harsh, he also defrauded the government with his illegal alien activities.
