"B maybe did a crime, did not get caught. Never paid a debt. Maybe never learned a lesson A did."
Many crimes are not solved, and the crimes people are convicted of are a tip of the iceberg. Prosecutors commonly reduce the charge to get a guilty plea in a plea bargain. If person A has a criminal record, it's quite possible he has committed more crimes than what he has been convicted of.
