The article does say “and possible jail time” but from the ending paragraphs it sounds like the other tourists that carved their initials years ago just got a similar fine and a mark on their records.

It does seem low and I wonder if it scales at all or is a standard fine? At that rate, Jeff Bezos could go carve an entire autobiography into the place for an amount of money he wouldn’t even notice losing.
