There had to be some scale or additive nature though.

If an otherwise peaceful person is committing fraud on a scale 1000 times larger than the next guy, wouldn’t it at least scale up logarithmically?

Actually, financial fraud sentencing guidelines add an extra number of years to the sentence that grows by the log of the money stolen: https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/guidelines-manu...
