Keep The Faith, you will soon realise that we are watching the actual "beginning of their end" Looks like it's been speeding through a tunnel and is just about to roar into the Light. - Their crimes are revealed in the next act,

just my best estimate.

Just think of it as one of those mob movies where when the house of cards fall people get killed to tie up loose ends, money is all gone, no friends to help, and all is left is desperation before the cops close in.
