    Eh… identity theft sentencing, assuming you go federal, is 2 years minimum. And most cases are civil.

    I prefer fraud, which carries 5 years. Add wire fraud on top of that and now you’re talking 20 years.

      If doing it ruins the victim’s life the sentences should have an equal effect on the perpetrator’s life. So yeah I agree with your assessment too.
