If executives don’t go to jail for stealing from consumers, they will continue to steal from you and everyone else.
If the fines were 10 times the illegal gains, and came from executive salaries first, that would also be a strong deterrent.

It’s time… to get hit by a tiny fine that makes it just the cost of doing business, with no other repercussions so that they can do it again. Yay for our judicial system.
Slap them with a huge fine and use it to fund more antitrust investigation and prosecution.
First time?
Hardly. But wishful thinking, and it’s the most reasonable way to self fund this kind of consumer protection because it’s much harder to defund.
Speedy justice!
Eggs were cheap then, I worked at a grocery store and they were regularly $1 for a dozen
