The reason the punishment has to be so extreme is that if it’s not they will discount by probability of being caught (and getting enough quality evidence etc).

The reason the punishment has to be so extreme is that if it’s not they will discount by probability of being caught (and getting enough quality evidence etc). So it can’t be a reasonable punishment that is just a bit more than the benefit. It needs to be an extreme deterrent so as to prevent them even doing the calculation.

It could be exampled after the sort of fines that govs like to inflict on the poor. It's also exactly the sort of fine that gov regulators compulsively seem to avoid.
