Should it be limited to just elite or everyone all the way down? Not trolling you as it might sound but how do you draw lines between elite and not elite.

The elite seem to be able to scale the harm they do pretty well. I wouldn't be against focusing more resources on pursuing elite bad actors, but don't think there should be a minimum bad bar that must be surpassed to get prosecuted.
It’s a good perspective on the multiplier aspect. I presume it goes both ways. Elite can do great things at scale but also exhibit a level of harm that is well beyond a linear comparative. Thx for the thought.
Well elite in financial sense since we talk about banks, doing unlawful financial operations. Its not a bank's role to investigate murders.

Poor can't do that much impactful financial crime, can they
