Pretty much this.
Your bank is failing? Shutter the doors, pay out the assets and FDIC insurance to depositors, and prosecute wrongdoing to the fullest extent of the law.
Ordinary guy robs a bank, he goes to prison (or worse). The same fate ought to apply to white collar criminals - who do far, far worse damage.
