Why do corporations get away with illegal practices WAY easier than individuals?

1.17K viewsOther

The average joe would be in jail or face a heavy fine if they are caught doing illegal activities like tax evasion or stealing. Corporations on the other hand perform illegal activities like tax evasion, fraud, wage theft or price fixing on a MUCH larger scale, MUCH higher impact to the society, and higher frequency, yet they almost always get away with barely a slap on the wrist (i.e. a laughably small fine which is less than pocket change, and zero consequences for the c-suite). Is it because it’s easier to prosecute individual average joe’s as opposed to multiple billionaires who probably has connections with the justice system and government?

People are answering on here as if they’ve never heard of a “corporation friendly court district” where corporations pay millions of dollars to have their court case heard in a very specific district of a state that has nothing to do with the charges all because the judges have proven that they will always side with a company.
