There was a story years ago 15-16ish that confirmed it’s a small number of people. One of the points in the article that cleanup was not a problem of identifying but punishments were not enough. Scammers could pay the fine, shut down that scam company and start a new one at little cost.

I can’t remember if low fine punishment was a problem of law or a problem of enforcement. But what I took from it is scam callers know they’ll be caught at a very low rate and their ill gotten gains will far out match their fines, so just keep going.
