see justice in this man going to a relatively comfortable prison

?? Prison is still prison. This is not Club Fed.

besides you already said this is a death penalty for him, what is harsher than your own estimation of that?

he gets to sit in prison the rest of his life. Pairing him up with mass murderers and serial killers and rapists and child molestors would just be cruel and doesnt make any sense. Youre seriously insane if you believe it does.

Yes his actions hurt a lot of people but there's no way we could do anything really to him that would fix that (except maybe give his money to those people, which is happening), putting him in a maximum security jail instead of a low security certainly wont accomplish it. He has lost his money and his freedom. This is fitting justice. Like I said, maximum security prisons are for VIOLENT offenders, who could KILL AND RAPE AND PILLAGE if they escape. They need to be monitored and detained because they are a VIOLENT THREAT to society. If you think this guy belongs in jail with those people, you're a nut. End of story.

Killing him isn't even eye for an eye though. If he's killed how would that be eye for an eye? Let the punishment fit the crime. He stole people's money and ruined their lives, take away his money and ruin his life. Sure it will be a comfortable prison but he has no freedom, no more yachts, no more power, nothing.

Hammurabi aside, the punishment wouldn't be eye for an eye in the Jewish Mosaic law as an example. He would have been ordered by the Israelite chieftans to pay back all he stole, even property directly to the victims.

Babylonian punishment was far more harsh and the Hammurabi code was more designed to terrify than deter.
