- backtoyoujim 10y agoWhat's great is that you have to use Western Union to send that person money while they are in jail
- stronglikedan 10y agoI thought that JPay had a monopoly on that. EDIT: I guess it's not every state.[0] [0]https://www.jpay.com/PAvail.aspx https://www.jpay.com/PAvail.aspx
- MilnerRoute 10y agoMoney is being returned to the people who were conned into sending it over Western Union. (They're setting up a fund.) My guess is it's people with less education who actually truly needed the money. I'm putting my cynicism aside, because that really does sound like a good thing.
- a3n 10y agoIf I rob a house or a bank, and the money is returned, I still go to jail, court and prison. Same if I drive the getaway car. The people who actually, knowingly (hard to prove) did the aiding and abetting committed crimes and conspiracy to- crimes. They should be tried. The managers who likely pressured these crimes for revenue should be variously fired, banned from the money industry, and tried. But corporations get to buy their way out of jail.
- MilnerRoute 10y agoMoney being returned to victims - or perpetrators going to jail. Which is more important?
- a3n 10y agoThere's no reason you can't do both. One does not inhibit the other.
- hobarrera 10y agoFalse dilemma: you can do both.
- AlexB138 10y agoIn my opinion, perpetrators going to jail. Return the money, and you've helped the victims of one set of crimes. Set a precedence and you've potentially prevented the need to help the victims of countless crimes. Not to mention it would help to break down our tiered system of justice. That being said, I think we ought to do both and don't see why we can't or shouldn't.
