This is an interesting thought experiment.

Harm is relative right.

Steal 10 million dollars from a family owned small business that leads to their bankruptcy and the family homes being lost? Life In Prison.

Steal 10 million dollars from Bezos? Fine. This actually seems somewhat reasonable to me, I have a feeling you are more likely to get punished stealing from Bezos than the family business though.

Yes. It's no secret that in the real world justice favours the wealthy, for more than just the fact that money buys the best lawyers.
