The moment corporations outgrew fines was the moment capitalism seriously turned sideways. Not that there weren't always serious issues, but it's insane that we allow these entities to exist entirely outside of meaningful legal prosecution.

I'd prefer to see fines linked to profits AND length of time they were stealing, ie: $20 mil x 44 months of theft = $968 million fine

That will get their immediate attention.
