Jail is not enough of a deterrent for the kind of enormous damage some of the involved have caused to society. For such large-scale, fully intentional, proven harm to society out of nothing but self-interest over a long period of time, stronger penalties than jail must be applied.

Beating them with pool cues about the head and shoulders until their retinas detach would be a great consequence.

Would you sign up as an executor? Or would you rather have some other sadist to do it?

You have no idea how fast I would jump to be the one with the pool cue. They would have to reconsider light being the fastest thing in the universe.

It's not about sadism. It's about people getting deserved consequences for actions that greatly harmed a large number of people.

Me? I'm just tired of watching it all.

Treat people reasonably, and not be a Snidely Whiplash level of asshat or you get the pool cue.

Perhaps forced bankruptcy to personally pay back compensation to the Post Office. Follow the money the way they do with terrorists.
