That's the profit part. It could be the following:

  * $x of fines for every $y of wire fraud
  * $x of fines for every individual instance of wire fraud
The point is if a company that makes a billion dollars does $100k in fraud they should probably pay the same fine as a company that makes a million dollars and does $100k in fraud.
