I'm not sure a $2.5 million fine means very much when you have an estimated net worth of $2.1 billion.

One reason I like a system where fines are x% of income like in some nordic countries that can result in 6 figure ($) speeding tickets[1].

LLC was fined, not the person. Company's income was $0, I guess.
Surely the LLC must have shareholders or executives that could be held responsible?
Maybe a fraud case can be built if a zero-assets LLC was created in order to take the heat. Piercing the corporate veil and all that.
Perhaps it will at least help to restore the area...
