Well an obvious difference is that one directly removes executives who were responsible. But sure, I'm amenable to a sufficiently large fine. Even just allowing class action lawsuits (despite their flaws) would be a lot better than the status quo. I'm just saying that a "corporate death penalty" doesn't necessarily harm customers. A large fine that an entrenched monopolistic provider can just pass on to customers the same way they do other "compliance costs" doesn't really help much.
