Some get 13 years for $100M, others get off for $1B.
Called “Canada’s biggest white-collar fraud“, Lacroix has been sentenced to 13 years in jail (of course, counting time served, and eligible for early parole after 1/6th of that time, Lacroix could be out in 18 months).
“Biggest”? A mere $100 million? I can think of a number of people who scammed us for much more than that: hmm, for say, $1 billion, people like McGuinty, Smitherman, Caplan, Kramer. They scammed millions of people out of 1 billion dollars.
How much jail time will they get for that?
Not one day, I’m sure.
