One of the problems with prosecuting cybercriminals is that building cases and investigations takes time, often years. In the meanwhile, the bad guys are ransoming this and extorting that and really harming a lot of people.

But what if we went after all the sim-swappers and other assholes in The Com by taking a page from the prosecution of Al Capone? I'm talking about just filing notices of unreported income with the IRS on all of these guys? I think the IRS even still has a bounty program for this kind of thing.

Hey, there's a decent business plan here...
