There have always been different rules for large corporations (and the rich) because they have money to challenge the state in court.
White collar crime isn't prosecuted as much because the laws were written with 'intent' clauses that make it easier to avoid convictions and difficult to prove so cases are more expensive and complicated. Most suits against corporations take years and millions of dollars to resolve.
Civil asset forfeiture is legalized theft, the only reasonable justification for it is for unclaimed property, the second someone is found to be the owner you're seizing their property which there are (theoretically) [0] constitutional protections against.
[0] I say theoretically because legal protections only 'really' exist when they're enforced against the government.
