Forget fines. Everyone in the company needs to be charged with felonies under Rico

Spoofing numbers could be considered a criminal organization

Take down every single person

That's a little excessive. The janitor was told that they were a legitimate marketing org, and it's completely unreasonable to expect them to investigate enough to find otherwise.
No I stand by that statement. You knew you were in a scammer company.

Actions need to have consequences. But they currently have none

Presumably, you work for a company that sells stuff. How familiar are you with your sales department and everything they do? Are you willing to go to jail if you're wrong?
I'm very familiar with their sales tactics and they are legal. They don't commit felonies on every single call. If I knowingly found out they were commiting crimes and did nothing I am guilty.

Management/c-suite? Sure. Your typical telemarketer working at minimum wage? No.

If they're claiming to be the IRS so they can scam you out of iTunes gift cards, why not? They know what they're a part of.

Yes absolutely everyone. Everyone that is on the phone. They get 10 years. They absolutely know what they are doing is illegal. Fuck those people.
