    Counterpoint:

    Failure to pay someone money they are owed resulting in jail time only sounds good when you imagine employers being carted off for not paying employees what they’re owed.

    It’s not so fun when you consider a mother of 2 carted off for missing a car payment.

      my last boss still owes me >6000€ in wages. I have been struggling for half a year now to get him to pay.

      meanwhile: When I order something from amazon, and the bank-transfer bounces, I am in for new kind of hell of late-fees and incasso-mail.

      There is a difference for missing a payment and completely refusing to pay what is owed.
