    I may be wrong, but I get the impression that the US legal system does not allow for real (not a $3.50 fine) prosecution of oligarchs/high end organized crime outside of some edge cases (Theranos, Madoff) where it’s physically impossible to come up with an excuse.

    That crime family running a “legal” opiate distribution cartel comes to mind.

      Wealthy people in this country are only ever really punished if they screw over other wealthy people.
