I don't know about in a million-dollar+ situation, but as someone who has worked in various security roles, I don't know of a case where employee theft resulted in jail. In situations I have been involved with there has never been arrests only terminations, even when I had video of the theft.
I'd have to dig into the legal ramifications of this, but "money" isn't real. It doesn't actually exist. It's not a "real asset". Similarly, a company and/or corporation doesn't exist. It's a "legal entity," which means, it isn't real. It has no input or influence in reality. If a "corporate entity" (AKA a fiction) loses a fictional asset, is it a crime?
Depends on their rank in the Corporate Hierarchy. Board member? Probably loose their job and 50/50 odds of a slap on the wrist depending on their rank favors they call in.
Normal Corporate Accountant or something? Several years in the big house at minimum.
No but if youre a politician then you have a different set of rules to live by and that includes getting off scott free. The American people just get to read about it.
Theft MUST be punished, especially when it's theft from the taxpayers committed by those who made the laws that allowed them to take the money out of our pockets.

If private sector jobs worked like government they'll soon be running the company
Good point - except that companies can't raise prices to cover the theft and corruption like governments can raise taxes.

I'm tough on crime, but the real world isn't...

It takes minutes tonfire someone and months to prosecute. Likely she will get prosecuted.
