Many people have kids and a family and they manage not to steal tens of thousands of dollars from their supposed friends.

Forgive me for not having a soul or whatever, but we should not repay embezzlement with compassion and leniency.
Forgiveness, however, is something I do for me, not for him. Forgiveness doesn't mean that I don't think he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I still want to see justice done. I want all the money he stole paid back, and while I feel for his family if he ends up in jail, I don't feel bad for him. I believe the law will see he's punished appropriately. I can trust in the system in this case (especially when we have Hammar O'Justice on our side!)
Forgiveness, for me, means that I don't have to hold onto the anger. I can have compassion and still want justice.

Here is my question because even though he did a bad thing and upset many people and broke the law...does the website board have any sway into the penalty phase if he is convicted?
I think you're spot on, Sela. Personally I'd say that if anything, stealing from a non-profit, charity organisation makes it even worse, morally, than stealing from, say, some big corporation.
