Somehow it doesn't seem like enough

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has been ordered to pay over 100 million USD in compensation to four men who were falsely convicted of murder after the FBI withheld evidence of their innocence. The men served over 30 years in prison.

I suppose if some of the FBI officials involved did some prison time that might help to even out the balance but I imagine that the statute of limitations has long since run out.
