Cheating in a sporting contest is a bit different from robbing a bank.

I guess we’ll be needing a lot of paddy wagons at football games.

its a bit more than just a sporting contest. They were competing for and cheating to win cash prizes. They took in hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last few years. What they did fits the definition of fraud. They can and should be prosecuted for it.

Black Sox didn’t rob a bank.
And yes it is different. It’s more like stealing a car.

Except the sporting contest in question pays a whole lot more than the average bank robbery. This competition paid $30,000. The average bank robbery is $2,000

Tell that to the guy who took second place and missed out on bringing home prizes from 10k to 30k.

How so? Not all bank robberies are armed robberies.

Are you okay with embezzlement?
