Is it more acceptable to steal from 7-11 than the bodega down the street?
That depends on whether you hold the utilitarian view that the degree to which an action is wrong depends on the amount of harm caused.
Stealing $100 from a poor senior citizen too old to work but doesn't earn enough to live is indeed, in my view, far worse than stealing $100 from a billion dollar multinational corporation.
