I always thought it was weird that fraudsters go to prison.

Like yeah fraud is pretty bad, but it hardly seems to warrant shoving someone in a cage for years of their life. Like they're not a physical threat to anyone, just take their shit and make them do community service or whatever.

If you lost your home to a fraudster, you would be singing a much different tune. Fraud is not victimless.

@zork0000 Sending them to prison is just wracking up more expenses. 🤷‍♂️ You could give them like a million punishments other than jail time and it'd be just as effective and cheaper. Their credibility is gone at that point anyway, so they'd have a fat chance of doing more fraud.

@BlueVeins There are tons of serial fraudsters that prove otherwise.

If there is no threat of jail, they are just gambling and will never stop.
