It does to a degree. I mean obviously I'm not a law expert, but I'm pretty sure that crime is more serious if you are aware that what you are doing is illegal, and are actively attempting to break the law. That's not to say ignorance is a viable defence in the sense of getting away with it, just that it's not as serious.

I think financial crimes are generally the type where motive is ignored. I expect they just tell you to pay up with interest, and don't really care whether it was on purpose or not.

Well yeah you're going to have to pay it back, but where a criminal intent can be proven, you might also be prosecuted. If no criminal intent is apparent, you probably only have to repay and don't face a criminal court. That's what I mean by less serious.
