I understand the impulse in this direction, but I’m not sure it would serve as much of a disincentive, as there would likely just be a highly-paid scapegoat. Why not something more lasting and less difficult to ignore, like compulsory disclosure of the model’s source code (in addition to compensation for the victim(s)). Compulsory disclosure of the source would be a massive disadvantage.
The source code isn't where the money is, what you want is the training data. Force them to serve and make freely available all the data they stole to sell back to us. That way everyone and anyone can use it when training their own models. That might just be punitive enough.
