That seems a little light tbh. There was so much neglect and purposeful head-on-sand burying to cause this accident compared to what they paid out. I am a pretty staunch advocate for throwing the book at corporations, tho, so I'd settle for having the company dismantled and the assets sold to pay out all the families instead.
