Literally just chump change to them. We need to start actually punishing these fuckers, not slapping their wrists and saying "Don't do it again, alright??"
What are you proposing?
Somehow force the people responsible to resign for knowingly pushing forward tactics that take advantage of the consumers/market, instate laws that prevent it from happening again, chop off their hands, take your pick
I'd like to see something like a corporate prison, where the company is put under government receivership for X number of years, with no distributions to shareholders. Board of Directors would be disolved, and all C levels fired.
That increased risk would ensure shareholders are more diligent at governing these companies.
I like it!
If it's serious enough or there are repeated offenses, the directors might have to resign from all boards and the C-suite prohibited from taking equivalent positions elsewhere. And eventually actual humans get prison.
