This is an interesting perspective, because from my point of view, the criminals ceasing their illegal activity would be a "win". Whereas, the alternative is the government knowingly allowing illegal activity to continue as they build their case with the goal of a "big bust" and larger jail sentences.
If their co-conspirators were also to cease, I would agree. But if that were realistically the case, arresting a single person would stop all crime.
