I don't see violent crimes as necessarily the worst. Crimes that steal from large numbers of people are arguably worse than many types of violent crime due to the sheer magnitude of lives that got destroyed. If you destroy 10,000 regular lives through fraud you deserve the worst punishment in line with murderers. Although this guy's long sentence isn't only because of what he stole from Rockstar, my commentary is not only about him, it's more of a broader point.
- ipaddr 3y agoMurdering 10 is okay compared to shutting down a video game company for a few hours?
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoStraw man argument; the person you replied to did not say this.
- hackerlight 3y agoDefinitely not. But I would say scamming thousands of poor people out of their life savings (e.g. FTX) is worse than violently assaulting someone. Violence isn't a necessary condition for a crime to be among the most damaging to victims.
