Maybe don't do crimes?

I guarantee you that every company you have ever worked for has committed crimes and incurred various forms of potential civil liability.

I doubt that, but even if you're right it doesn't change my point: if you're not willing to stop doing that, you'll be less productive than the firms that are willing to operate legally and ethically.

And if in some industry it's really not possible to do business without committing crimes, then let's reform the criminal code to something reasonable.
