Financial crimes destroy lives as well. I think there is a double standard here where people want to go easy on highly educated people who destroy lives with computers. Violent criminals on the other hand are seen as monsters beyond redemption.
I'm in favor of a criminal justice system that is less about retribution and more about rehabilitation. But SBF isn't anywhere near the top of the list of people who got unfairly harsh punishments, not even if he gets that 100 year sentence. In a different -- and better -- criminal justice system SBF wouldn't have to spend the rest of his life behind bars. But in the current system he should, or it would be yet another exception for a rich and highly connected guy, which is also a type of injustice.
