Regulations and criminal laws are like dams or levees; With predictable flows, artificial waterways can safely operate within reasonable tolerances assuming everything was done faithfully. With unpredictable flows, modifying the course of a waterway typically causes unanticipated problems downstream. Regardless, it's still water and will still flow downstream. No dam or levee is going to change that, just as no regulation or criminal law will change the basic motivations facing corporate entities at any scale (i.e. min-maxing self-interest).
