I wonder how high the fines would have to be for this kind of behavior to stop. I suspect that it would have to be measured in the tens of billions of dollars for it to actually be punitive.

I think it only has to be higher than the amount hey currently spend on lobbyists to allow this kind of behavior

It depends. If there's a per infraction fine, it could add up.
