It's great that some of these fraud crimes have been prosecuted. When are we taxpayers going to see financial reparations for what they stole?

I don't work in government, and I don't have a degree in Political Science, Economics, or Finance. But I have enough common sense to know that, if I stole $100 from you, and I got caught, the judge would order me to pay it back to you.
Lately, a day doesn't go by without us hearing about another conviction to some MASSIVE fraud scheme. Great. Go, Team.
I'm not asking for agreement, as I'm guessing 0% of people disagree. If you're reading this, and you have Inside Baseball as to how all of this works, will we ever see a dime of what was stolen from us?
Without some measure of financial justice, I'm tempted to continue to feel resentment a) toward the perps and b) toward our governments that allowed it to happen in the first place.
I don’t know that we’ll ever see paper currency that designates it’s reason for you now owning it as reparations from fraud, however I do think that prosecuting the fraudsters and showing the fraud is going to reduce the amount of taxes that we have to pay in the long run. Trump has recently said that the federal government is way too big and is really only necessary for a few things.
