We really have to stop letting wealthy people and corporations buy their way out of legal problems. Fines and settlements clearly don't stop bad behavior as banks and polluters have been showing repeatedly. The whole thing feels like a protection racket where it's ok to do illegal stuff as long as the government gets its cut.

Either somebody has to go to jail or the fines have to be on a level that they lose all of their illicit profits and more. Not just a part as it is now.
