I think you are stretching things a bit. Having a felony record is not the death sentence you make it out to be. Felony Disenfranchisement[1] (aka "losing voting rights") isn't really that much of a thing anymore (at least in the US). Outside of the banking industry, lots and lots of places don't care too much about a felony anymore. Some of them don't even ask you to divulge that info if it was x-years ago. And as far as hundreds of millions of dollars in debt... that would depend entirely on what sort of restitution you need to pay and how much your lawyer charges... but hundreds of millions of dollars is extremely high.
