IDK, maybe incitement to DDOS is worse than bribery, fraud, tax evasion and money laundering? (not to mention robbing hard working students from their well earned college spots).

These sort of comparisons are not generally very insightful, but for balance: "[Bieler's] father — the company’s founder — had gone to the hospital with cardiac problems from the stress." And if Goodyear was genuinely remorseful, then he made a mistake in trying to pass off a pattern of abusive behavior, that included threats, as a momentary lapse. The Bielers appear to be paragons of forgiveness. Perhaps there is something about Goodyear that did not come out in the article.

  Fair enough, but the general commentary in this thread was about the excessiveness of the 26 month sentence; I think the comparison is valid since it illustrates the lack of fairness and obvious influence of wealth & connections in our justice system.

I think Huffman is the least important target in that whole thing. She bribed a test center or proctor to correct her daughter’s SAT score for $15k. While it was definitely a shitty thing to do, it’s no where in comparison to the other cases. Her daughter still had to do the normal application process. It wasn’t a bribe to get her directly admitted to the school. It’s still a stolen spot, though. She came out and plead guilty right off the bat and who knows what information she may have given to the prosecutors that could’ve played in her favor. Loughlin, on the other hand, will probably get the books thrown at her if she doesn’t take a plea because it was multiple cases adding up to over half a million in bribes. Someone needs to be made an example of and her with her ungrateful daughters are a prime target.
