Most crimes that are done for financial benefit (stealing, embezzlement, fraud, securities violations etc...) have very stiff penalties.

Just look at whats happening with the Carlos Rapheal case, millions of dollars of fish poached and sold illegally on the black market. Audio tapes of him admitting his stealing and lying about his fish business and smuggling money (6 million) into foreign banks. Business as usual, has not been shut down and nothing has been confiscated. Latest news is that the case may never go to trial. He has plenty of cash for the best lawyers and will use it to buy his way out of trouble...again. I hope I am wrong.
