1.6 capital punishment


In 2009, the legal processes of the U.S.A. sentenced the 70-ish Mr. Bernard Madoff, the infamous Ponzi schemer who had forged stupendous financial results and fleeced his investment clients around $18 billion all the way, to an imprisonment of 150 years.

150 years of prisoning roughly equal to 1.6 capital punishment, given the life expectancy of a typical American of his class.
