I agree. I think compensatory justice is sorely underutilized, not just in white collar crimes either. Politicians love retributive justice because it makes them look hard (which we all know is directly proportional to penis size), but in terms of social value, there is a great deal to be said for working out punishment based on a stardard of fair compensation for injury.
