    Penalties that are lower than profits encourage companies to rob consumers again in the future.

      Yes. Should have been something simple like “pay back every customer you fucked over the money they were robbed + how much that money would have made on the stock market since you stole it”

      It’s plenty enough to teach them to do it again but worse.
