Dramatic effect.
Varga I think is symbolic of the amoral powers-that-be behind the global financial system, who destroy lives, break laws, and kill people, all in the name of money - and always get away with it. That's why I don't think he ends up at Rikers. Varga knew he was not going to jail, because he knows how the system is set up. His side always wins. Gloria wants to believe that justice is possible, but I saw her smile at the end as more of a realization that, as much as she wants to make a difference, she can't (flashback to the robot from Ennis' book perhaps).
There was a brief scene mid-season about greedy traders, and the global financial collapse... scene seemed out of place at the time, but I think Varga and co. were symbols of the financial greed that caused the meltdown and caused such destruction. In real life none of the financial criminals were ever prosecuted... just like in Fargo, where Emmit committed massive financial fraud, but got just a slap on the wrist. He was living a nice comfortable life until Mr. Wrench showed up.
Was really hoping Nikki would live. I was not a fan of Mr. Wrench randomly showing up near season's end and killing Emmit. Also wasn't a fan of Nikki being killed by a random cop we had never seen before.
