I'd settle for corporate jail time. No more profiting off illegal activity when the fine is less than profit. Nope, corporate jail. All operations have to stop for your sentence. No sales, no product development, no operations. Maybe an outside team of accountants can be allowed to run your books. This would effectively be a death sentence for many companies, but at least it mirrors the experience humans have to endure - loss of job, family loss of income, loss of ability to get future employment, etc.

Real jail time for corporate officers.

Currently there is no downside for sociopathic behavior. Employment contracts guarantee they earn if the stock does well. If not they get a golden parachute on the way out.

If those that ran the company were actually responsible for what the company does, then this shit would not happen.
