What would deter fraud?

I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean regarding the topic.


> House arrest would make the math on “should I try fraud” lean heavily towards fraud I think.

You argue that house arrest is an insufficient deterrent for the level of fraud committed by defendant A.

Is the sentencing for defendant A consistent with the US Sentencing Guidelines, and consistent with other defendants convicted of fraud?

> Maybe even more so if you’ve got a nice house.

Defendant B apparently isn't even on house arrest, and apparently sent someone else to their civil rape deposition obstructively and fraudulently.


The fact that different cases play out differently, some possibly unwise and unjust is no surprise to me.



Trump got a fraud conviction and zero sentence.


The fact that injustice exists does not surprise me. Both in jail would be fine with me, but I wouldn't "not" put one in jail because of the other.
