What Jones said wasn’t criminal. He’s allowed to say what he wants. But what he said did cause harm to people. So those people are using the same legal system that allows Jones to say whatever he likes, to make him fix the damage he caused by saying it. The fact that he made money from it simply helps the judge - who is not part of the government executive - understand the motivation for what he did. The reason someone did something might be a mitigating factor in some cases, but this time it’s probably aggravating.
