Is it normal for restitution to be less than the actual amount someone fraudulently obtained?

From personal experience from people I know getting arrested, yes and it is usually a very small percentage of what they really stole. Insurance companies are horrible for this and when getting busted they basically get away with it. My cousin has been busted multiple times for taking insurance payments and not really providing any insurance. She paid back pennies on the dollar and never had to stop "selling" insurance any of the times. Embezzling from companies is the same. A girl I dated and a friends mom(different companies) both stole over 100K and they both got probation and had to pay back less than 10% of what they actually stole.
