In point of fact, for an employer to make committing a federal felony a condition of employement would trigger RICO statutes. And if the feds decline to prosecute, RICO allows private enforcement, which is to say, you or I (or anybody at all) could file a RICO lawsuit, with potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties, which the private citizen who starts it gets a share of, even if the feds take it over later.

It only takes one person to get the ball rolling.
