I'm also starting to think that people underplay the devastation financial crimes cause relative to physical violence. People in a very real sense "eat money".

If you steal someone's life savings you've harmed them way worse than just giving them a beating. And investment fraudsters tend to also have a lot of victims.

That's never mind the physical harm that results from the stress of losing your life savings, including substance abuse and in extreme cases suicide.
