Many of them are shell companies. We need a way to put them in jail.

How about if you own 20% of a company that is convicted of a crime, you do 20% of the time. After all, you got to benefit from 20% of the profits because of crime..

I'll settle for fines being substantially bigger than the profit obtained from the crime.

For hands-off investors, maybe. Directly responsible parties should see jail time though.
