The consequences can't simply be monetary, because these people are stupidly wealthy. If they're found culpable, send them to prison.

If multiple (or even countless) people die because of your grave negligence (which is the most benevolent way to look at it) I don't think the appropriate judgement is a fine.

Why are you defending billionaires keeping their money? The fine doesn't have to be the only punishment. They should absolutely be stripped of their power(money) as well as facing other consequences.

I am not, i should have made it clearer above by saying "just a fine"

The all caps "AND" in my original comment implies that it would not be "just" one thing.
