Yeah, these ineffective fines need to stop. perhaps the following would work better:

1st offense: warning, public humiliation, reparations to the wronged. 2nd offense: meaningfully huge fine 3rd offense: even bigger fine and c-level prosecutions. 4th offense: stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability. 5th offense: public tar and feathering.

    Counter:

    First intentional offense: permanent stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability.

    First unintentional offense: meaningfully huge fine, equal to no less than 25% of annual revenue.

    Second intentional offense: won't happen, due to the first intentional offense permanent stop order.

    Second unintentional offense: permanent stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability.

    The only way to fix this is to make it hurt from day one.
