> We don't punish people based on their net worth but on the impact that their actions had. This means I should be able to steal at the supermarket and if caught, only pay for what I stole?

Or how about we actually put them in jail when they commit crimes? A poor person stealing from a supermarket certainly risks jail time.

  No, they don't. Felony theft requires in excess of hundreds of dollars of theft. Now go rob a supermarket with a firearm and that's a different story.

    You can go to jail for misdemeanors, look up your state's laws.

    In my state, someone shoplifting less than $150 on their first offense is categorized as a summary offense which puts someone at risk of 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300. Steal $1,000 though and that’s a 3rd degree felony with up to 7 years in jail and $15,000 fine.

There is a day and night difference between stealing and fraud. And this is barely fraud btw. The only reason she is being fined because they they didn't file a form with the SEC for approval which would've meant they could only sell to "accredited investors". Don't you see they are lettering pissing at you. They think your too stupid to invest. You supposedly live in the most free country in the world but you need permission from the government to invest your friends company (or for your freind to ask u for investment). This is the world you want? parasite.

She actually got 250k from the deal and was fined 1.26m, is that enough?

  She was paid by the project founders 250k. You have no idea what she profited by pumping and dumping the shitcoin itself.

    Do you?

      Nope. Merely pointing out that the transfer of wealth from fleeced retail to founders/insiders can hardly be summed up by 1 promotional transaction. This was a project and promotion with a single goal: hype and price pump in order to transfer wealth.
