I think there's not a lot of coverage over how aggressive he gets when anyone says or asks anything he doesn't like.

There haven't been a lot of opportunities for people to ask him things he doesn't like...

Wow, this looks bad :(
I've seen a lot of this recently [in the news].

Basically people billing companies for work never done or requested and  getting paid.

A lot of the companies paying are new or just not set up to verify,  and just pay and pay until one day... [its a rhyme].

Don't people ask themselves if they really want to do the time for the crime?

After the fact MOST regret it. While someone is in it, its difficult.

Once heard an interview from someone that was in otisville, he said, a third say they never committed the crime, a third say they regret it and the last third say it was worth it.

I guess Otisville is part of the problem for that last third.

I dont think anywhere else is the suloution.

Some ppl made 10's of million +++ in fraudulent schemes, yet mange to go off for a year or two. Even if you'd put them for longer it mostly wouldn't change stuff. There needs to be consequences for such type of activity.

Forfeiture?

At some point something will deter, except for people who hate their own lives so much that nothing will deter.

@Dan is it about doing the time? And if there was no punishment בעולם הזה, and not even in עולם הבא, does a Yid who believes in השי״ת want to do something like this even if never caught, how much more so if caught and cause a חילול השם?

Unfortunately the יצר הרע is strong and powerful. A strong antidote would be to remind oneself often that א איד - ניט ער וויל און ניט ער קען זיין אפגעריסן פון אלקות.

Excerpt:
"As of October 2019, monthly uploads of farming-related videos increased 61% compared to the same time period a year
prior. Monthly views of farming-related videos kept pace with that growth, increasing over 69% in the same timeframe."
