Larceny sentencing is also incredibly lenient in practice. This month an Erie County bookkeeper stole 90K from her clients and only had to pay 50K in restitution. My general point is that white collar criminals are hardly punished in practice - not that insider trading should be treated as larceny. (Because as I pointed out the sentencing is generally light anyway)
