Since when did the guilty parties and criminals get to decide what the damages and penalties are for their criminal lawbreaking? Well I guess when your a rich white male criminal the usual rules don't apply to you, you keep control over your wealth even when those assets and properties would be liquidated in order to comply with a court of laws judgments. We see how the law is being weaponized to protect the wealthy from any punitive damages and a full legal accountability meanwhile the rest of us if we make even a small infraction receive very severe punishments for our failures to thread through the dense thickets of rules and regulations that are forced on us by the corrupt lawmakers.

Unfortunately there are loopholes to circumvent civil judgements, the one that jumps out in my mind was O.J. moving to FL to safeguard his assets from the Goldman family's judgement against him. So long as some states have these loopholes for civil judgements they will serve as sanctuaries for people facing bankruptcy due to a civil judgement. That said civil judgements are a fantastic justice tool when it comes to punishing people who do horrible things but manage to avoid criminal prosecution. Most of these individuals live very expensive lifestyles and they value that lifestyle often more than there own lives. Many rich and powerful people commit suicide when faced with the prospect of being poor. In America money is power, take a persons money and you take there power.
