Ok...let's say I stole a shit load of money. Like...$2,000,000 for example. Let's say I got caught, went to trial, was found guilty, and went to jail for stealing said money but the police never recovered the dough. Let's say I serve my time and am released from jail.
Can I keep the money? I have already served my time and double jeopardy protects me from being tried again for the same crime. The money was never returned to anyone, so recovering the cash is not stealing.
It would take me 44 years to make 2 million dollars at my current pay rate. If you look at it that way, 22 years in prison would be like getting paid $90,000 for each of those years into a trust fund I can not access just yet.
