> laws against murder, makes murder no report them self

One of these is more universally repulsive than the other. Were it illegal, I'm not sure I could be bothered to blow a whistle on a company paying a cyberransom. That's obviously different for murder.

The analogy is closer to being: the state will prosecute the murder victim's family for failing to properly protect them AND won't be able to locate or punish the true murderer. So in this situation, what's the family going to do? Mourn in private and not report the crime, maybe try for vigilante justice if they think they've identified the murderer.

And not let the community know there is a threat out there.

In this scenario. the community is a danger to the family.

Reporting the murder will see the community punish the family for not protecting the person better.

Then you toss the entire executive branch in prison when it inevitably leaks. The problem will solve itself soon enough. These criminal organizations should be treated as such.
