Working under the assumption that:
1. The banks only care about one thing -- profits.
2. Individuals at the bank primarily only care about their pay (talking about the ones responsible for massive fraud and have bonus structures that encourage it, not the tellers at your local branch).
If government took actions to pull all revenue (plus some) generated by these schemes it could go a long way in changing the culture. It appears to me, and probably many others, that the punishment imposed (fines) are simply a cost doing business as the banks appear to still be making profits, or at the very least keeping large portions of revenue, off of illegal activity.
There is no simple solution, and this might be the wrong one, but the current solution doesn't appear to be working.
