So what's the government's ~~price~~ fine for something like that, 5 mil?
These kinds of crimes should come with a fine that's 10x what they profited. Then even they manage to hide some of the profit, it's still gonna hurt.
And jail time as well as taking their personal wealth. Or throw them in the middle of the Atlantic, both options are valid.
