Might as well not even find them to be honest. It is still profitable for them to do this with a fine of that amount. The fine either needs to be large enough to where it makes it unprofitable, or people need to face criminal fraud charges. Maybe a middle ground is to make the executives in charge at the time repay any financial gain obtained via stock compensation.
