I would assume they would react positively. Minimum mandatory sentencing has the potential to be a good deterrent for those committing the crimes. But at the same time, victims would expect at least a minimum consistent consequence for anyone carrying out fraudulent activity of that magnitude. From my perspective, any fraudulent activity of $1 million or more is significant. I think victims would look very positively at that.
