Because then the article would be about poor Jane Slopkins, the single mother of three who struggles to make ends meet. "That money was such a godsend for me and my family. I didn't want to touch it at first, but my son lost 5000 pounds betting on horses, and the bookies were threatening to break his legs. My daughter was failing her classes while working two jobs, with the money she could stop working and focus on her studies. She's always dreamed of becoming a reporter", etc. Jane received this money through no fault of her own, and now that she's had to give it back, her life has been thrown into turmoil once more. And that's not all, she is now facing prison for a non-violent crime she had no idea she was committing. Etc. etc., the article basically writes itself.
