It's much more than people "just losing some money", anyone who ever had anything stolen from them, or have been broken into can tell you that.
I'm speechless that they were able to reach that number of victims without consequences. Reeks of a lack of oversight, will, power or coordination on behalf of the investigators. I wonder which reasons they give.
Gifting a bit of existential fear to those scammers might not hurt, since they force it on thousands of others.
Scamming is partly intense psychological violence, and its financial and psychological consequences are far reaching, and here at an unfathomable scale - an entire city of people! In this sense they terrorize people. And they should likewise be relentlessly pursued and sentenced as a consequence. That city would go to war against them if they were one.
But yeah, i don't know, maybe we need a new word for such criminals. The superlative for murderers is "mass murderers". "Mass scammers?"

And this doesn't qualify for special forces. It's "just" some people losing some money.
