The solutions to fines not being enough is really simple (provided we assume a functional justice department). Put people knowingly involved in committing fraud in jail.

Edit: but frankly if the law was regularly enforced I expect fines would be enough here.

Well, yes, but also its very hard (time-consuming, low conviction rate, and expensive to the wrong party - taxpayers) to get jail time for people. It creates a really weird sub-ecosystem of paying to be unaware etc. inside a corporation.

I hear you on the fines, but probably the purest form is to allow deregulation for competition but regulate to protect consumer safety (a balance if you will)
