You have to contextualise it. Imagine you were partly responsible in one of the biggest financial meltdowns of all time in your country, that made similar waves across the entire planet. You get caught, and get a penalty. What should it be? Then imagine your penalty was 0 days of jail time, and about 50% of your salary of 2015. Or hell, not your salary, just 50% of your disposable income. Then consider that you profited a multiple of that fine I just mentioned, by engaging in this illegal behaviour in the first place. That's what is called a slap on the wrist.
