Honestly the dude will get food, shelter and bedding, he probably wanted to go to prison

>>139461224
Maybe he should've thought up a scheme to steal from people without robbing a bank

$100 bill...ion

Looks like two different places with two different sets of sentencing guidelines for two different crimes.

> homeless dude steals 100$ from a fucking bank and turns himself in the next day
Pretty sure he did that exactly because he wanted to land in prison, so he doesn't have to care about food/shelter.

Everybody knows that you are not supposed to rob banks. Banks are allowed to rob us though.

First guy is sentenced for his role in a grand scheme. Details aren't provided for what he actually did in the fraud crime.
Second guy robbed a bank. Even if it was just $100, he robbed a bank. It doesn't say if he was armed, but if he was armed robbery of a bank comes with much more severe penalties.

On one side, it's not like everyone can do what he did and steal 3B. On the other hand it would be chaos and much more harmful to the population if robbing a bank wasn't severely punished.

Regardless, 40 months isn't much and 15 years is crazy.

In Western Australia; there's three crimes that get you life imprisonment:
>murder
>armed robbery
>arson

Murder kills people. Arson kills *hundreds* of people. Armed robbery has the extreme likelihood of severely fucking multiple people up, and / or killing them (inb4 'hurr if you just comply ur gona be fine').

Going into a bank, claiming to have a gun / bomb / weapon, and demanding a hundred dollars, engender a greater risk to life and wellbeing than a $3B fraud scheme.

The security guard who shoots you, could be shot back. Or you could shoot the teller, or detonate a bomb and kill everyone. Or no one could be shot, but a ricochet bounces around and kills a child. Or you could stab the security guard, get shot; and stab someone else before dying - with a ricochet killing someone innocent in the meantime.

A $3B fraud deposits businesses hard earned cash into someone's illegitimately funded pockets, and funds their selfish lifestyle. It's shitty and in the 'big picture' it will impact more people, but just simply doesn't have the same propensity as armed robbery to slash necks, stab stomachs, explode limbs or launch projectiles at a few thousand feet per second.

15 year sentence seems about right.
