Look at Paul Manafort as example got 4 years for that 1st crime where he should have faced close to 20. If that had been some low income white, black or Hispanic guy with a history of defrauding people he would be sitting in jail 20 years because he's poor.

They need to start throwing the book at these rich people doing white collar crimes to put the fear into them.. as it is they all just figure they can do anything..
I hate to be pessimistic but I don't think this will ever happen.

Did anyone in Enron ever serve time?

All the banks that got bailed out did anyone go to jail?

Wells Fargo creating all those fake accounts with real customers social security numbers and IDs did anyone go to jail?

All three credit reporting agencies had data breaches where everyone's information was stolen did anyone go to jail?

No

What white collar crimes have gone to jail recently, outside of the Mueller investigation?

Bernie Madoff. Why did Bernie Madoff go to jail? Because he ripped off other really rich people.
