This is called wage theft and I haven't seen anybody going to jail for it.
I don't condone what this person did, but I wish justice was as swift for crimes committed by the rich and powerful.
Depends on the state, but wage theft is a criminal offense (punishable by jail).
And generally, the scale of the damage affects the punishment.
