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.

And I don’t buy this as a serious well thought out argument. If someone destroys your method of producing personal income they have indeed damaged your personal finances.

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.
