If you make $150K/year, that's still ten years of pay. We can discuss how much of a multiplier is reasonable for being punitive, but it seems rather obvious that a week in jail does not reasonably cost you ten years of Silicon Valley senior engineering wages.
For anyone who is not blessed as a programmer and merely earns the average (median) of $36,0000 year, we'd be talking about 40+ years of lost wages.
