    well the problem here is these laws have no teeth other than fines….
    if you’re very rich, a fine is just a cover charge… and cheaper than doing it legally anyways.

      Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) quote "If the penalty for a crime is a fine then that law only exists for the lower class"

      That aside, there exist other charges such as jail time however long or short and penalties as a percentage of assets (such as in some Nordic countries)
