That's like what, one year for every half-billion he took?

By that standard your average armed robber would serve something like 14 minutes.

$150 of theft? thats either a hanging, or a term in Guantanamo for terrorism, if your a lefty. ;)

Or, bearing in mind that we used to sentence people to life transportation (Liverpool-Sydney approx 10576 miles) for stealing two sheep (current value around $100), that works out at 105.76 miles per dollar.

In other words, we could send him about 1.17 light years, or a little over a quarter of the way to Proxima Centauri.
