why?law is a code of morality. Morality is not something you can apply to an investment bank, since it exists to make money, which is a purely amoral purpose.
a fine for breaking the law is merely another loss. Someone going to prison is collateral damage; replace them. If they make more money breaking the law than they are fined for doing it, it's a net win and they are still good at what they are doing : not rotten.
