That’s an insane take. Financial damage isn’t a problem for you? What if someone targeted you personally or your business?

I’m not arguing against compensation or other dissuasive/retributive punishment - I did call it a misdeed. Suitable compensation and punishment is absolutely appropriate.
But yes, I am arguing that four years of prison time is disproportionate punishment, and probably any prison time at all for this act.
I don't buy this equivalence of financial damage to a person with financial damage to a business.
If I had a business its finances would be separate from my personal finance using limited liability, so even if someone destroyed 100% of its value, it would only be no return on investment for me - sad and bad but totally not equivalent to losing all my personal money.
What about the employees you had to let go to cover the shortfall? No damages there either?
Same category - bad but not enough to warrant four years jail time. Unless you are prepared to argue four years in jail for unlawful termination.
