> Why should we NOT punish people for fraud?

Who said he shouldn't be punished? I simply stated that since he made restitution prior to charges being brought, perhaps that should factor into sentencing. I don't know who you're arguing against, or what you're really arguing, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I've been talking about.

Restitution isn't the only reason for punishment.

That he's clearly unapologetic and simply got lucky, and that this should factor into sentencing.
