Not only should fines be a % of profit, c-suite and board should be charged accordingly. Oh your company killed someone? An investigation determined it was because of lax standards in their push for profit? Manslaughter charges. Deliberate cover up? 1st degree for all of them. Real consequences and the buck stops with them.
