The workers at Camp Green Lake get into legal trouble in chapter 48. While it doesn’t explicitly say in that chapter that they’re arrested, it is later revealed that they were. It is during this chapter that we learn the fundamental issues with the camp and see retribution for the camp workers' misdeeds.
The camp director acts erratically when trying to get Stanley to surrender the suitcase he discovered so that she can acquire its riches. Additionally, it turns out that there are no records regarding Hector Zeroni's arrest—he is being held unlawfully. The attorney general begins to question the legality and ethics of the Green Lake operation and asks to speak with the directors privately, eventually leading to their arrests.
