What if the large companies with lots of cash can just pay the fines without impairment to their business? What if they just keep repeat offending?

The ban could be a percentage of revenue. For persistent offenders their DNS entries could be banned.

Who will bank the money recieved from the fines and how will that money be used?

The money raised from fines would pay for the service. Anything left over would be paid to me. :)

Those adjudicators might try to milk the system. There might not be anything left over!
