I want more than the calls stopped. I want a fine of at least 8 billion calls times the legal $500 per call fine plus treble damages. The money distributed to everyone with a phone. I also want to pierce the corporate veil and take everything the owning operators have. Then I want the same done to all robo callers.

Yeah, the fact that a handful of individuals are allowed to make this much infrastructure effectively useless for hundreds of millions of people just so they can make their own millions of dollars from their scams is insane. Maybe someone could start their own robocall campaign urging everyone sick of scam calls to donate $1 to a crypto assassination fund.

and the carrier, to boost the incentive?

No. Collect the money from the carriers. Let them try to collect from the spammers. Incentive.
