That much money would have likely saved some lives so that's not stiff enough penalty. Stealing money that was 'medically' ordained and intended to save lives is equivalent to taking some lives in my book.
Just as an example a 50,000 dollar surgery would save a persons's life easily.
The real cost of a jet he bought with the money could have without a doubt saved a few lives.The money was originally intended and ordained to save lives...Lives were stolen not money.
Believe me if the money was intended for covid research some real humanitarian efforts were made ...it all goes to save lives..all 'medical' intended money saves lives in the long run. When people stop getting covid they stop getting long covid and so that prevents complications which can require expensive treatment and surgeries.. it all boils down to the same thing... he didn't just steal money... he stole from humanity
...Lives were stolen not money.
Talk about hitting somebody when they are already down covid fraud is just evil. That's a crime against humanity no doubt. Covid fraud is the act of taking something away that was supposed to ease human suffering and save lives... The end result of covid fraud is the same as and is equivalent to inflicting suffering and pain and taking away some peoples' lives from a distance in a somewhat remote manner in which one hasn't met the victims up close.
..of course thus far this is an alleged case and still has to go to court to prove the man guilty or innocence of bank fraud, wire fraud and illegal monetary. transactions. This has to be proven in a court of law as people are innocent until proven guilty.
