Yeah if they’d just let him go he’d go right out and make everyone whole again. He’s going to jail to hopefully keep other people from doing similar things. I’d like to see more jail for white collar crime - otherwise it’s just gambling.
The post your are replying to didn't say that punishment wasn't necessary, just that punishment and justice aren't really the same thing. Ideally he would be punished for his actions and there would be justice for the victims (i.e. being made whole).
He's also going to jail to prevent him from defrauding more people. Meanwhile Adam Neumann is still out there starting new sketchy companies taking people's money, most recently some crypto token thing (because of course he would). If Masayoshi Son had been less interested in saving face and more interested in getting justice, Adam might be behind bars too. One could imagine a case for fraud being made there.
