I know that Madden, the guy from New York, was arguing for a lighter sentence based on the point system that you mention.  I think that the news report said that the prosecutors calculated his score to be 26 points, and his attorney thought he should have only scored 22 points.

Here's my proposal fpr a scoring system for title agent misappropriators:

Steal over $10,000: 2 points
Steal over $100,000: 3 points
Steal over $1 million 5 points

Spend the money only on making your payroll (other than yourself):  -1 point

Otherwise, what did you buy with the money?
Jet ski: 1 point apiece
Bass boat: 2 points
Yacht: 5 points
Pickup truck: 1 point
Mercedes: 3 points
Bentley, Rolls, or Ferrari: 5 points
Vacation to Florida: 1 point
Vacation to Cancun: 2 points
Vacation to Tahiti: 3 points

Pled guilty and cooperated with authorities: -1 point
Went to trial and got convicted: 3 points

Sentence = 1 year per point.
