8. The punishment must fit the crime

For a group that understands the world only in terms of pecuniary profits and losses, the penalty has to be greater than the profits or they will see the fine as only the cost of practicing "good business sense." If they make 300 million and it cost them 4.2 million there is a profit rewarding the behavior of 295.8 million. If you want them to stop, either put those responsible in prison for an extensive time, or fine them the profits made plus a serious penalty. As it stands, they can make a handsome profit from violating the laws and ignoring common human decency.
