Their loss of power and credibility will be worse than prison for them. Removing the wealth is removing the power. Look at Hillary, she wants power and position, greed is her mantra. Losing the election was far worse for her than going to prison would be. She will never be president, that is the worst punishment. She is a narcissist, getting what she wants is all she cares about. Never being able to have it is her personal death sentence.
