> for (non-violently) stealing money is draconian..

It isn't even non-violently stealing money like breaking into your house when you are on vacation, or hacking a bank or something like that. People just willingly bought a shitcoin which then went to 0.

Giving life or effective life to non-violent actors sends a clear message to criminals that they're just as well off to violently resist arrest, as their life is forfeit anyway. Seems like a poorly thought out policy for the enforcers.

There is no messaging problem here. There is no overlap between the type of person who creates elaborate crypto scams and the 80 IQ no impulse control types who violently resist arrest.
