“It seems like the only people the government wants to prosecute are low-level drug dealers who structure cash deposits at banks. They go to jail,” said retired Drug Enforcement Administration agent Bob Mazur. “But institutions that commit massive crimes to move billions of dollars simply pay fines. Maybe this is considered by the government to be too lucrative a revenue stream to worry about putting people behind bars.”
