If it’s found a company knew about the problem they should get 5x the pay out.

Nah, companies need to be blown to bits for corruption like that. Hand the company to the FTC to be broken apart Bell Telephone style with a 10 year ban on mergers or acquisition for any mini-company created by the breakup. And make it retroactive for any corruption exposed since the turn of the current century. Make corporate corruption so risky nobody does it anymore plus you can break up all of the monopolies that formed over the last few decades while you’re at it, plus you’re not sending designated scapegoats to prison Hudsucker-style

Counter proposal: what if we made corporate corruption so easy that it made capitalism work at 500% capacity?

(Side note: comes at expense of millions of people, the world, etc.)

Sound fair? Tough shit. We’re doing it either way.
