Right.
It’s a mystery to me how on one day on HN you will see “corporate death penalty” discussed and on the next “$400MM white collar crimes should not be punished as much as murdering a single person”.
If this were Apple, Google, or Meta having committed the crime, I think the tenor of the discussion would be very different.
Hey man, some of us find it funny when millionaire pirates get scammed by another millionaire pirate in a Coen brothers-esque scheme where everyone's greed gets them fucked in the end. Throw them all in the brig
It's almost as if comments on a website called "hacker news" are written by individuals with differing and varying opinions, and not by some nebulous hive-mind that purports to be internally consistent.
Sarcasm was unnecessary to make this excellent point.
