Time is money.<p>Average cost of incarcerating someone per day is $94.82.<p>6000000 divided by $94.82 per day is 63,277 days. Which comes out to 173 years.<p>If They fleeced 6 mil, there&#x27;s your sentence. You can decrease by a gratuity factor for making the prison population aware of what they are in for.<p>I mean. Seems only fair. We shouldn&#x27;t facilitate taking advantage of captive populations. Might even help with the attractiveness of financial crime.
