Repays the $7,500, plus 6 months in jail. There have been violent criminals and people who've committed horrific crimes against children who've served less time.

With the what seems like an uptick in fraud based crimes where people are using charities and illness and other nefarious means to steal money then you not only have to look at the punishment but the possibility of deterrence.
