Random thought: since the US dollar hasn't been backed by a physical asset in decades, does it really make sense to prosecute a person(s) for "stealing money." Stealing implies you have taken something of value and requisitioned it for ones self, but since money has no actual value was it really stolen?

Especially in the digital age, the numbers you see in your bank account are just 0s and 1s sitting dormant in some server farm.
