He stole people's home money and food money. That is violence.

This makes the term 'violence' useless. He didn't use physical force or any other form of power to force anyone to do anything; instead, he lied to people, convincing them to transfer their money to his platform voluntarily.

If I steal your life-saving medication resulting in your death, do I deserve jailtime?
