Financial penalties have a long record of poor influence toward desired, legal behaviour. Further, they tend to simply be, sooner or later, passed on to the customers or clients who in many cases are the original wronged. Those individuals actually responsible for the sanctioned behaviour are not or only weakly punished and perhaps influenced against its repetition.

As an individual, one could well go to prison for such misbehaviour. Corporate and government employment should not serve as an impenetrable shield and dilution of responsibility against such eventuality.

Incarceration is often described as having two goals: Punishment for crimes committed, and mitigation against such crimes. For the latter, both by actual restraint and by aversion to the potential results.

It seems that stronger aversion is needed; we have a systemic problem with recurrence -- often by the same parties -- of this behaviour.
