The worst the real estate boards can do is fine, suspend or revoke your license.  However, in criminal investigations, I have seen agents in our marketplace, who were involved with fraud, serve jail time.

Off with their head. But not seen done so much for many many years... back in King Henry the 8th's time and a bad bad real estate deal where agent was the patsy for his impulsive castle buyer. Wives were short lived too.

And the best of all 'punishments' is that your Errors & Ommissions insurance carrier will not pay for any fines or judgments against you if you commit a criminal act, fraud, misappropriation or comingling of funds, discrimination, or fail to disclose environmental issues.  You're on your own.
