it's not just one " (figurehead) person" committing crimes. There is a huge cabal of people, touching every aspect of both the government (including some members of state governments and Congress) and the private/corporate world.
So locking the figurehead up isn't going to suddenly stop the crimes from being committed because that figurehead surrounded himself with opportunists, and thus he could easily assert "plausible deniability" because "others" actually did the deeds (and this is where RICO comes into play to get at the top).
As they uncover more and more, the broad scope of the criminality is slowly being revealed, and plans for compartmentalizing this to make it easier and quicker to handle, is most likely underway.

I rounded the time the wrong way and should have used 19 months instead of 20.
