This is precisely what the fine is doing. Fifteen billion dollars of the market capitalization was wiped out, directly impacting shareholders. The stock has lost about 40% of its value since news of scandal broke. You can argue it should be worse, but we don't need some special new mechanism. The fine can be anywhere from $1 to the the market capitalization+1 and the effects would then range from a slap on the wrist to bankruptcy and the loss of all equity in the company for shareholders.
