Shkreli did not "make a mistake". He purposefully defrauded investors.

Aaron Swartz did not make a mistake. He purposely obtained unauthorized access to JSTOR and exfiltrated data for public consumption [1].

Poor judgment with minimal damage should not cost you a tenth of your life, or in Aaron's case, his entire life.

Yeah, no. I'm rejecting your argument. The two are nowhere near the same. Shkreli purposefully did what he did, and more so, he showed no remorse in doing it, and he insulted the court.
