Powerful interests that are not subjected to normal legal proceedings, but instead are allowed to settle out of court and out of criminal charges, and keep their profits. In rare cases where prosecution and related settlements are even attempted, they seem outrageously small in relation to huge profits and the blatant disregard for the law by the perpetrators. Many would be easy to prosecute because the evidence is well documented by a large
paper trail, and has thousands of potential witnesses that support the prosecutors case.
In many cases the "too bigs...." are
responsible for massive amounts of damage to the economy and creating
devastating personal losses for hundreds of thousands of people.
