What's the point of "restitution" if it came from the victims anyways? The Sacklers would have kept all of their ill-gotten gains under this settlement. The amount they'd be paying is practically just the interest from their earnings.

- a2dam 2y agoRestoring what was taken from the victims is literally the definition of restitution.
- FireBeyond 2y agoExcept if all you have is restitution, there's no punishment. "Hey, I stole this money from you but since I gave it back - after a court ordered me to - we're all square, right?"
- 1024core 2y agoExactly. If they're just returning the money (sans interest), where's the punishment? If you steal $100 from a bank, you spend more time in jail than these scumbags ever will.
