The question isn't whether it happens but whether it would be considered a just outcome. He is drawing a comparison between something that is easily recognized as "getting off easy" to something that is harder to conceptualize because of the absolute size of the amounts involved.
- freehunter 12y agoIt is a just outcome if the affected party feels satisfied. Just because there wasn't punishment (or wasn't "enough" punishment in someone's eyes) doesn't mean the outcome wasn't just. Justice doesn't mean punishment.
