Fines are a worthless form of punishment since almost all companies just see them as a tax that may or may not be levied, and even if it is levied it will never exceed the profits made by the illegal behavior. Every single fine over $1000 should come with prison time for somebody. I don't care if it's a single weekend in jail, when company executives choose to abuse consumers it's people who should be punished, not bank accounts.
