Isn’t ransomware the modern version of it?

  Ransomware is also a better sort of arbitrage against the legal system. If you somehow got caught and prosecuted you didn't do a violent crime, so that has to probably help you somewhat. Of course you did do a federal crime so you have to serve 85% of your time no matter what.

    Not at all. White collar criminals often serve longer than even violent criminals. Look at Bernie Maddof, Allen Stanford and others

      In your mind what does the word often mean?

      I think we gotta take a step back and find something with some data; I offered pulled-from-my-ass conjecture and you countered with anecdotes. We gotta actually find a study or something of how much time people actually serve.
