I don't understand this statement. Are you saying every crime should be punished equally...?
... But again, I have no issues with the severity of the punishment in this case. If anything, as I said, I think the punishment was too soft for the reasons I mentioned above. mmarshall's post just set me on a rant, heh. But he's probably right that the kid's rich daddy bailed him out. I do think the Veyron case is an example of a horribly disproportionate punishment, though.
I will concede, though, that saying insurance fraud never deserves any prison time was probably not a fair statement.

Insurance companies are in the business of managing risk and managing their liabilities by only paying out legitimate claims. If a claim is in dispute, they have review mechanisms in place and ultimately, the customer or the insurance company can resort to tort laws and the courts. Nothing criminal or fraudulent about that. If a pattern of abuse or misapplication of the terms of the policies can be established, then anti-trust laws, or a complaint to your state's attorney general's office is warranted for investigation or establishing that pattern.
This case is clearly not a case where the insurance company denied the claim. A police investigation on the theft and arson found evidence of an attempt at fraud, charges were laid, conviction and sentencing followed a proper criminal trial.

Seriously? Trying to steal $250,000 AND arson aren't enough for you? A year in jail would do this clown good.

white collar theft vs blue collar theft. Same difference. $250k is being lost somewhere.
