Wells Fargo pressured their workers to steal money from customers, and commit fraud. This man went steps lower. He was stealing money from the disabled, the old, and the poor.
The people that he victimized, had faithfully filled out their obligation to save money in their health accounts. They took responsibility to provide for themselves.
This man wrecked whatever chance they had.
Some lost everything because he was a criminal.

The company initially prospered, developing a nationwide clientele. Bottinelli moved into a million-dollar home on Southwest Buena Vista Drive in Portland's West Hills. He married a prominent architect's daughter and began moving in all the right circles. He joined the Waverly Country Club, the Multnomah Athletic Club and the University Club.
"Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Maddux painstakingly compiled a list of expenditures that illustrated Bottinelli's prodigious appetite for the finer things in life. On March 5, 2011, he racked up a $1,162 tab at the renowned French Laundry restaurant in California's Napa Valley. On Nov. 11, 2011, he spent $1,774 at Le Pigeon in Portland. A month later, he stayed at the famed Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. The bill: $3,857."
"...the veteran judge narrowed his eyes. "There are 3,000 people out there that have suffered from your criminal acts," he said. "Where were your thoughts when you racked up a $50,000 bill at the Waverly Club or $100,000 for your wine collection?"
