"In cases where victims were affected financially by the relevant identity theft, the total sum of losses shall be repaid to the victim. Further compensation is permitted and encouraged." If the perpetrator is unable to repay the victim - by whatever means, including if the perpetrator escapes justice - then who else will foot the bill? It's quite clear that if a billionaire lost 500m to identity theft and the perpetrator couldn't indemnify the victim then the government would have to pay 500m to the victim to avoid noncompliance with this legislation. There is no limit to the amount that must be repaid, and no restrictions on who should have to pay.
Besides the point. That 500m could have been spent on fighting homelessness, or cancer research, or improving higher education or whatever the government decides it should be used for. Instead, that money must be paid to the billionaire victim out of the government's (read: the taxpayer's) pocket.
Eh, to each their own favourite flaw heh.
