So, someone who commits a crime should not reap the rewards of unrelated activity?

Seriously... Am I even talking to a member of the free world?

Maybe try not raping or abusing people or other illegal activities and don't suffer economic punishment?
Without limit? Everyone has broken a law at some point.

Economic confiscations are supposed to take the proceeds of crime, not erase everything you've ever done and remove any chance of you earning again. Where is rehabilitation in your "justice"?

No point rehabilitating, or having a change of heart is there? May as well make the sentence for every crime or misdemeanour a whole life tariff.

I'm... At a loss for words.

Do you not trust your own justice system?

I do not necessarily agree with the person you are replying too, but I also do not trust the American justice system
