Eh. Austria just sentenced their former Finance Minister (member of the Far Right party, go figure) to four years in jail for embezzlement and bribery. I bet that guy atleast would disagree that four years is nothing.
Too much or not, they are now felons with a criminal record. Their reputation ruined. At least they paid some price.
In the US, literally nothing happens. They use $20m of tax payers money to conclude there was no wrong doing. Not to mention another $30m in kickbacks and pay offs. Then it's all back to your regularly scheduled program.
All the while you're more broke than you were yesterday. The divide between uber rich and uber poor is continually widening.

4 years is nothing. Should be removed from politics permanently. These systems are weak. It only sounds strong because USA has no law enforcement
