Not only is the fine ridiculously low, they will also most likely not get other fines for the spills because they „have been punished already“.

However, it seems that prosecutors need to grab what they can. I imagine an appropriately large fine would take years or decades of litigation when Chevron invariably sues, appeals, etc
