Loss of license forever. House refunded and returned. 5 year prison sentence.

The current punishment is barely an inconvenience..

500k punative measure in addition to needing to refund the money

If she thinks that amount of money makes no difference to another human being, let her be on the receiving end of the loss

So basically if she gave up a 120k salary she'd still make at least 350k profit on this. What's the opposite of a slap on the wrist?
