Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

So, why? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 52fighters@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) It would be restoration by proxy. I once had a friend who stole money. He did not know the person and could never find him again. To make restoration he gave an equal amount plus reasonable interest to a charity, anonymously. The charity was a proxy for the man from whom he stole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago So, was the restoration something he lost, or something he returned to someone else? Would it have been restoration if he just burned the money instead of giving the money to someone? permalink fedilink source parent
