Widely rationalized as the government has finite resources, so there's a better deterrence effect of going after prominent entities and persons vs. randomly selecting bad actors.

IMO this is good. The biggest and most elite among us should be held to a higher standard than a random guy on the street or a small business, not a lower one.

Westley Snipes, Donald Trump, Hunter Biden, Amazon, Tesla, ExxonMobile, Amgen. I sorta want everyone and anything in that class of society on their best behavior at all times, lest the reins of government fall to a Party with reasons to make an example out of them. Unlike most, they have the resources to make it a fair fight too.
