I think it's a great idea not to do the first thing you think of, and instead to think of alternatives before committing to a solution. But I'm scratching my head here trying to think, what are good alternatives? Are you suggesting we send their family to jail too?
I mean honestly, what do we do here? Let them keep their job, pensions, and what ever hush money their received?
If this isn't a crime that sends you to jail, then I'm a little at a loss here.
