Unfortunately, that's pretty close to the truth. Any monetary penalty imposed on a company tends to get passed on to either consumers in the form of higher prices or employees in the form of lower wages. The executive management who decided to break the law and the investors who profited from the decision are shielded from harm. Unless the penalty is so stiff that the company would be unable to pass the cost along to customers or employeees without losing competitiveness (through lost business or loss of skilled labor), those responsible for breaking the law aren't going to see any consequences.
