I don't think you get it. Detroying a company doesn't make the situation better, most regulation is centered around "punish and correct," rather than "vindictive destruction." The company has to survive to learn its lesson, or you haven't really made any progress.

We accept essentially destroying the lives of bad enough criminals in order to deter others, why should the same be out of the question for corporations.

who said anything about destroying a company? I just said that the fine should be more than the profit from breaking the law or you're not punishing and correcting, you're encouraging lawbreaking and taking a cut of the profits.
