I agree ... to a point. Instead of dissolving the entire corporation, I think that there should be (in cases like this) where the "Corporate Veil" can be pierced and individuals (in this case, Executive Officers) can be be brought to trial, sentenced, and held personally accountable for their decisions - including prison sentences.
That would get the CxO in other companies attention, in a double-quick-time fashion.
I do agree that fines that seem astronomical to us (USD15Bn is huge in any personal context), to a corporation can be just The Cost of Doing Business. Depending on how long they've been doing this, they may have made twice that amount.
