Civil vs Criminal. Trump got a disgorgement, it's not a fine. He's been ordered to pay back his ill-gotten gains, that's not the same thing as a fine. Anyhow, a civil case can't end in jail time. That's not how civil cases work.
Disgorgement isn't a fine, it's a special attack that deals acid damage.
A civil case can end with a criminal indictment however, which is certainly coming at this point.
See my other post in this thread for why it was done this way.
