I don't think anyone's arguing that lifetime sentences for financial crimes make sense.
its safe that we assume these guys will plead guilty and get jail time. They bankrupted no one as far as we know. What do we think they will get as far as sentencing? My guess is way more than what is needed as a deterrent. I'll guess 54 months. A year and a day would be plenty.

As bad as prison is, there are a lot of people that would be willing to sit for a year for the millions that these guys stole. Especially if they have done of it attached away for when they get out.

Behind every great fortune there is a great crime.

You would be shocked if you knew every secret that the investors that lost money with him hold. Every one of them, to a fault, has had something in their past. So I wouldnt be so quick to judge.
You're joking, right?

Which part? The quote that is not mine or the truth in the fact that every one of the investors mentioned has skeletons.

There will always be some people that don't think about the consequences of their actions until it's too late.
But without the threat there would be many more of these things happening.
As someone who has had past employers who did jail time, as well as current clients who got taken away in handcuffs, I have had a serious talk with my wife, and made a steadfast decision that there is absolutely no sum of money in the world that is worth having my children seeing, or knowing that their father was taken away in handcuffs (even if no time ends up spent behind bars).

Exactly why the deterrent works for most people.
