Why even fine corporations at this point? Put the ones involved behind bars and shut the company down, liquidate their assets, and divide it to the victims when they do criminal shit.

If the death penalty exists and corps are people, why aren’t companies being executed?

If that actually were the punishment, you’d actually see companies behaving a lot less evil very quickly. A tiny fine that isn’t even a blip in the companies pocket won’t do anything.
