1. Does this seem fair? No, this is not fair. The homeless man turned himself in after stealing the $100. Only 100 and he turned himself in. But he gets sent to 15 years in prison. on the other hand, a wealthy man tries to steal 3 BILLION dollars. He gets caught and gets sent ONLY to three years in prison.
