Should white collar criminals face the death penalty? I know it would ally us with countries like China, but it appears to be the only deterent.

Whether it's Madoff, Ley, Ebbers, Kozlovski, Keating, Milkin, Boesky, Fastow etc. (the list is long), it appears the thought of fed prison time alone does not deter their crimes. Yet the aftermath of their greed results in the complete financial collapse of many law-abiding hard working Americans. While the criminals are held at low-security white collar federal prisons (country clubs), the victims are left financially ruined.
If not the Death Penalty then what will deter wealthy white collar criminals from their blind greed? In every case these criminals were already more than wealthy before committing their crimes.
