If they broke the terms of service shouldn't they be removed from youtube (like any smaller group would have been). Not just have their views removed? There is no punishment in just removing the views.

You can bet their ToS and our ToS are not nearly the same.
If a video can be deleted for having a lot of fake views, I wonder how much money it would cost to have someone else's video deleted for violating the TOS. I think not deleting for this kind of TOS violation is correct.
Well, 2.3 million views is still a lot, and I think YouTube won't risk dropping those users.
