If the case would just "stop", they wouldn't go to jail - all Judge Wright imposed were monetary sanctions(he only threatened incarceration). Furthermore, the monetary sanctions aren't even that big(compared to the claims of the money they made).
But specifically to answer your question, the reason is that there's an appellate system. And unless you want to argue that the appellate system shouldn't exist, "bad guys" get to use it to argue their case, just like "good guys".
Furthermore, as Pietz points out in his oral argument, Judge Wright was exasperated at how much the justice system constrains punishing bad actors abusing the system. This is a core issue, and it's not as easily solved as waving a wand around.
