Jail sentences vary between different countries and states, there is no universal jail term for any crime. Some countries still carry death penalties for crimes, but most western nations have lighter sentences or even just monetary fines for fraud offences as long as they do not reach a corporate level and are not associated with larger crime groups, such as money laundering and drug cartels, as these types of offences are handled by the federal police and carry heavier fines and jail terms.
