So let's say fraud has a standard tarriff of ten years.
And we agree that committing two frauds is twice as bad, so we add them together. Still makes sense.
And someone defrauded a LOT of people. Say sixteen THOUSAND.
That's how you sentence someone for 141,078 years...
(They served eight.)

- abeppu 6y agoThanks for linking that wikipedia page. Some of those examples sound crazy. In particular, I don't understand the motivation in cases where there was a sentence of several thousand years, and later it was reduced by 500. Does that reduction in sentence provide any kind of actual benefit to anyone?
