    I just said that I don’t think stealing $20 from someone and it might be .02% of their savings isn’t the same as going and stealing &200m from Amazon. It’s a bit more severe of a crime. Meaning, I don’t care what the NBA is worth. If they walked into someone’s house and took 200,000, they should be punished whether that person is worth 1m or 1b

    Fair opinion. Not one I share, but I get the logic.

    Again, let me restate: I do not think it's ok to steal $4m from anyone and I do think there should be a punishment for it.

    Only well after the fact did apologists dismiss the allegations by saying they had a consensual relationship.
    You know, the slut wanted it.

    Strawman. There are no Patterson apologists. He's universally panned.

    Federal Prisons can be like country clubs. Im sure if there is time served it will be a federal prison as mail fraud is a federal offense and felony.

    Domestic workers have been subjected to sexual abuse by males of the household since forever. And always their fault. Temptresses. Enslaved women were raped by master and then whipped by mistress.
    Read this literally while watching Anita Hill on TV talking about how allegations of sexual assault are dismissed and downplayed.

    His many short-comings were bad enough, it always made me wonder why people felt the need to exaggerate them to make a point.

    It’s not revenge. It’s a deterrent. Put these people in jail and others will think twice before doing it.

    Interesting story. I'm not sure how it relates to medical insurance fraud.

    Unfortunately some posters in this thread brought up Patterson's rape conviction, saying she was consenting.
