NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s company was fined $1.6 million Friday for a scheme in which the former president’s top executives dodged personal income taxes on lavish job perks — a symbolic, hardly crippling blow for an enterprise boasting billions of dollars in assets.

A fine was the only penalty a judge could impose on the Trump Organization after its conviction last month for 17 tax crimes, including conspiracy and falsifying business records. The amount was the maximum allowed by law. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan gave the company 14 days to pay. A person convicted of the same crimes would’ve faced years in prison.

If we are going to believe corporations are humans, and therefore trump corp can be punished for felonies with a fine, shouldn't the fine be more?

Hypothetically, picture you were convicted of a felony, a crime serious enough that you had to spend a year or more in prison, that would be more severe punishment than 0.1% of your assets.
