It will but first a period of time has to pass so that they can investigate to see how many drivers were affected. Some might not even be aware they had money stolen from their accounts. The money will be divided between the claims and everyone will get a portion of what was stolen. Sometimes this takes years.

[@doriangray2020]

Don’t be so ignorant dude. The vast majority of criminal cases result in plea deals…only a fairly small percentage go to trial. More likely he was going to give up his accomplices and they decided to silence him.

[@mrquirky3626]

Plea deals don't mean the guy goes free. Having a trial where you have potentially 700+ victims to testify takes time, time that could go into handling all of the other cases needed in court too. Typically all prosecutions charge the defendant with as many crimes as possible to force the defendant to wave their right to an expensive and time consuming trial and plead guilty to most of the charges, or reduced versions of those charges instead. The defendant ends up serving 60 to 80% of what the full charges might have got them while the prosecution gets the criminal behind bars faster and can now move on to the next case. Plea deals are always part of the system.

[@lumberjack297]
